By following a gradual reduction plan over the next few years, Italy aims to maintain fiscal responsibility and avoid financial instability. In conclusion, Giorgetti reassured parliament that Italy is prepared to meet the EU budget rules and manage its deficit effectively, underscoring its dedication to compliance with EU regulations and efforts to strengthen the country’s economy.
