Italia susţine că UE trebuie să ţină cont de inflaţie când evaluează abaterile de la buget

Italian Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti emphasized the need for the EU to consider rising inflation when assessing budgetary deviations. He plans to discuss greater fiscal flexibility at the upcoming Eurogroup meeting. Italy's inflation rate has surged to 4.1%, impacting public sentiment ahead of next year's elections. Giorgetti highlighted that external shocks should be factored in by the European Commission when evaluating member states' compliance with spending targets. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also seeks additional flexibility from Brussels to address energy costs, proposing a €14 billion allocation over two years. The Italian government aims to make inflation a key topic in upcoming financial discussions, especially with elections approaching.
