Italy has revised its 2026 public debt target down to 138.1% of GDP, from the 138.6% projection set in April. The adjustment is small, but as one of the Eurozone's most indebted large economies, even half-point changes in Rome's fiscal path draw scrutiny. Observers are debating whether the move signals genuine fiscal tightening or an effort to reassure European Commission officials monitoring Italy's budget plans.

Why now: Italy's debt trajectory is closely watched for its implications for Eurozone fiscal rules and market confidence.
