Meloni asks Brussels for fiscal leeway as energy shock squeezes Italy
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is pressing the European Commission for greater flexibility on budget rules as high energy prices strain Italy's economy. The government argues the energy shock justifies extra fiscal space beyond EU deficit limits, setting up a debate in Brussels over how far fiscal discipline should bend amid the cost-of-living squeeze.
Why now: Rising energy costs are forcing a confrontation between Italy's budget needs and EU fiscal rules.
