Forza Italia proposes the Superbonus spreader to stem the debt

#Forza #Italia #proposes #Superbonus #spreader #stem #debt

Nothing but declining debt. The effects of the 110% Superbonus risk catapulting Italian public debt above 142% of GDP. This is due to the draft being “significantly stronger than expected” writes the Fitch rating agency. It is the nightmare of the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, for whom just mentioning the building subsidy, the costs of which have gone out of control, so much so that the accounts are constantly changing, causes stomach aches. “It is a monster that has affected public finances,” repeated the head of the Treasury. The specter, awaiting the next judgment of Fitch and its sister company Moody’s on Italian debt, is that the effects could be even worse than expected, as the rating guardians think. Already now, as emerged in the latest Economic and Financial Document, compared to past forecasts, the debt to GDP ratio will rise instead of falling, at least until 2026. In two years it will be higher than what was indicated last autumn. The bar will be at 139.8%, two decimals higher than what was written in the update note of the economics and finance document approved last September. Only the following year will 139.6% be reached.

To help public finances comes the proposal for a debt bailout from the ranks of the majority, in the form of an amendment to the Superbonus decree to allow the tax credits generated by building incentives to be used in ten years instead of four. The idea was put forward by Forza Italia in one of the 355 modifications sugges
