ROME (Dow Jones)--Italian business confidence rose more than expected in December to its highest level in 18 months as the country emerged from recession, with expectations of output recovering and the outlook for foreign orders improving, figures showed Tuesday.
The business confidence index in the European Union's fourth-largest economy rose in December to 82.6 from an upwardly revised 79.4 in November, state-funded research center ISAE said.
December's reading was the highest since June 2008, it added.
Three economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast an increase in the index to 79.5 in December.
The ISAE business sentiment survey was carried out between Dec. 1-18.
