Italy to seek more leeway on EU budget rules amid inflation
Original: Italy to seek more leeway on EU budget rules to tackle inflation impact
Italy says it will ask the European Union for greater flexibility under EU budget rules so it can respond to the impact of inflation, according to Reuters. The move signals friction between Rome and Brussels over fiscal discipline, with Italy seeking room for extra spending without breaching EU deficit and debt limits.
Why now: Inflation is straining national budgets across the eurozone, putting pressure on EU fiscal rules.
