The CDM-approved bis-aid decree is valid “15 billion, plus about two other additional measures “for a total of 17 billion, adding to the approximately 35 billion”. of the rules already approved by the government during the year, Prime Minister Mario Draghi told a press conference, stressing that it is “a large percentage of GDP, more than 2 percentage points”. The decree passed “is of extraordinary proportions”, Draghi added, before saying “a word on the method: the measure – he said – was shared with the social partners and the majority and opposition parties. I thank everyone who took part in this exchange and in particular I would like to thank Minister Franco, who prepared three annual accounts this year and last year, did he close four financial reports?
The annual growth achieved so far corresponds to 3.4%, more than estimated for the whole of 2022. It is a very positive number, also compared to all other countries, said the Prime Minister, a “really extraordinary” growth, “we will grow more than France and Germany”, he added and spoke of clouds on the horizon with “worrying forecasts for the future”, preparing us for the third and fourth quarters.
Dl Aiuti, Draghi: “No budget deviation. The economy is better’
The help dl bis contains “the Extension of bills and fuel measures, reassessment of pensions and a further reduction in the tax wedge a little higher than what “was included in the Council of Ministers”, but also “measures to support agricultural businesses against drought and measures for local authorities”.
“We intervene with unchanged balances and do not use a deviation because the economic development is better – Draghi added –. And this is thanks to the ability of Italians, families and companies, and also to the economic policies of the government, which has supported the economy without hesitation while maintaining the objective of reducing the deficit and debt / GDP “.
“The decree is very significant,” including on the energy emergency front. “The government has responded with support for the economy, families and businesses and there will be another intervention if necessary,” Draghi said at a news conference. “The government – he added – has diversified the gas supply and Today, our position in terms of supply stability is much better than other European countries, and the stock level is over 70%.“Exactly 74% added the Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani.
“I would like to be able to inform the next government that all goals have been achieved before the end of this year,” said the Prime Minister. “Failing to meet the Pnrr targets certainly undermines the country’s credibility and everyone needs to see how it went as we were able to meet all the targets. But I’m sure the next government will respect the goals.” “The importance of the commitment we made, the bet we shared with others, “will be respected by” any government,” he adds highlights how the NRRR is able to “sustain growth”.
Could Mario Draghi remain ‘a grandfather at the service of the country’? The prime minister smiles and replies: “Of course I’ll stay grandfather”. But then he looks at the difficulties of the autumn and, despite the conviction that “the third quarter is expected to be better than today, companies too”, does not forget that “inflation will continue, the price of gas is not expected to fall: all that this requires, I do not know what political formula, but certainly social cohesion is required. It requires a climate of awareness of the difficulties that all Italians will face in the last months of the year. This should inspire government action,” he concluded.
“The proceeds from advances paid so far” continue additional profits “is less than what it should have been. It is my intention that they pay everything: there are measures that greatly increase the penalties for payment obligations. If there is no answer, ready to take other measures,” said Premier Draghi. “What is intolerable – he concluded – is that in this situation, where families and businesses are in trouble, there is a sector that eludes government regulation”.
For workers, “in the budget law we have already reduced social security contributions by 0.8%, this reduction for the second half is 2%, we add 1.2%,” said the economy minister. Daniel Franco in a press conference after the cdm, about the operation on the wedge. “A ministerial decree of 700 million extends the excise tax reduction of 25 cents on petrol and diesel until September 20”. “Cutting the wedge means a net burden on public finances of 1.2 billion. For pensioners 1.4-1.5 billion”. “If we break down the interventions carried out” with the aid decree to “for families and businesses” on the energy front, it is estimated that the budgetary component, at 5.8 billion, is slightly larger than that of businesses, 5.5 billion “.
“We have worked hard to ensure the realization” of the single check because it is an extremely important intervention – declared Economy Minister Franco -. The Bis Aid Decree reduced the allocation for the single check by 630 million. The defined allocation turned out to be somewhat superfluous earlier, and if we had not used it here, the resources would have been lost. For Nadef “we will define the trend frame, we will remember the goals already set in the def. I think it would be good to stick to the same goals, but it will be a decision to be made by the new government.”
