What does a score of 59.2 mean for Italy?

59.2/100, band 50–65: some of the discipline holds and some of it slips, which is what the middle looks like. That is 9.2 points above the 50 mid-point of the scale. Seven weighted dimensions produce the figure and no analyst adjusts it afterwards. Nothing in it is a forecast — it grades what Italy's central bank has already done, said and delivered.

How often is Italy's score updated?

Nightly, off that day's public releases; this page carries the 2026-09-10 run. Seven days back it read 58.6, so the week added 0.6. A 90-day trailing average damps single prints, so a weekly move past a couple of points is a real one. Tomorrow's run replaces the 2026-09-10 figure outright rather than revising it in place.

What is the 50–65 credibility band?

Five bands cut the scale — ≥ 80, 65–80, 50–65, 35–50, < 35 — and 50–65 is step 3. Italy clears its 50 floor by 9.2 and stops 5.8 short of 65. The step above is 65–80 and the step below is 35–50. Bands grade monetary behaviour, not default risk, so none of this is a credit rating.
