Economic forecasting is a very important aspect that policymakers in the financial and corporate organization rely on because helps them to determine future events that might infringe some hardship on the economy and the citizens at large. However, the principal statistical pointers that are available to the public domain provide numerous reservations and doubts for their economics estimates as it is later released with frequent issues to major revisions and also it shows a great lag in decision making for an incoming event. To this effect, the expansion of the latest forecasting patterns was important to address the gaps. Hence, this paper examines the conceptualization of Machine learning in economic forecasting. To achieve this, the Italian economy was used as the dataset, and machine learning controlled tools were used as the method of analysis. The result obtained from this study shows that machine learning is a better model to use in economic forecasting for quick and reliable data to avert future events.
