The iShares MSCI Italy ETF (EWI) provides focused exposure to Italian financials, utilities, and industrial sectors, benefiting from banking consolidation and EU-backed recovery projects. Despite Italy's low economic growth, the ETF trades above its 10-year average but remains attractive compared to European and global indices, supporting a BUY rating. Key risks include heavy reliance on the financial sector, Italy's public debt, energy inflation, and potential delays in EU-funded initiatives. Investors should weigh these factors when considering the ETF for portfolio diversification and growth potential.
