Meloni asks Brussels for leeway on EU fiscal rules

Original: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has asked the European Commission for further leeway in the bloc’s fiscal rules, o

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has urged the European Commission to grant Italy more flexibility under the EU's fiscal rules. The request came on the day Istat, Italy's national statistics institute, reported inflation rising to 4.2 per cent in September, up from 3.3 per cent in August. The appeal underscores growing pressure on Rome as higher living costs complicate budget planning, and it is drawing attention to tensions between national spending needs and Brussels' budgetary discipline.

Why now: Italy's surging inflation and Rome's pushback against EU fiscal constraints are raising questions about the government's budget plans.
