The financial services sector in Italy is projected to experience a decline in employment from 307.0 thousand units in 2024 to 291.0 thousand units in 2028. This represents a steady annual reduction in workforce size year-on-year, with an average annual decrease (CAGR) of approximately 1.35% over the forecasted period, following a similar trend from 2023 to 2024. In 2023, employment was slightly above the projected value for 2024, underscoring a consistent downward trajectory.
