Business: Leo: first, the 2025 deficit figures; then we’ll see about finding new resources

New funding for businesses – such as incentives for SME mergers – will require resources; however, before this can happen, “we need to see how the 2025 public finances will develop”. This was emphasised by the Deputy Minister for the Economy, Maurizio Leo, speaking at the conference “Accelerating Growth”. “We haven’t even finalised the 2025 figures yet; we’re awaiting the final outcome between September and October: if we look closely, we were at 3.07 per cent, though there is some rounding involved,” he explained, referring to the 2025 deficit-to-GDP ratio, which prevents Italia from exiting the infringement procedure. “We need to find the necessary resources, and this is an issue that deserves attention,” he concluded.
