Data released by Istat for the second quarter reveals that Italy's tax burden has risen to 43.5%. During the same period, the national deficit improved to 2% of GDP, while the economy recorded a 1% growth rate compared to 2025 projections.
Household financial health shows a widening gap between income and expenditure. While family income has increased, it has grown at a slower pace than consumption, resulting in a decline in the overall propensity to save among Italian households.
