(Finance) – Autumn promises to be decidedly “demanding” for the majority as they grapple with more than a few hot dossiers, as admitted by the same Premier Melons.
In October, for example, if the Government fails to identify the resources, aid against the high energy price may not be extended. In the past few hours, however, the clue from the Minister of the Environment has arrived, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, which he reassured with respect to the desire to contain costs for citizens, even if this still entails an important economic commitment on the part of the state coffers.
“Since it was formed last October, the government has set up a series of social bonuses aimed at containing the increase in energy and gas bills. An important economic effort that we will carry on,” he said in an interview with il Messaggero, underlining that in any case, according to the first estimates by Arera, bills this winter should not increase, but remain unchanged.
The government’s plan is to focus heavily on energy saving policies, but also “on the actions designed to encourage the self-production of electricity”explained the minister again, underlining that from this point of view “the energy communities are fundamental”.
But that’s not the only pitfall, insurance, school mortgages and food are added to the list. Increases that will weigh on the pockets of Italians and a certainly not encouraging estimate has arrived in recent days from Assoutenti which has examined 5 items of expenditure, calculating the largest outlay for Italians at +1,600 euros per family. Even if hope could come from the “anti-inflation quarter” with the government’s plan to control prices. Schools will reopen soon, and an increase in spending on school supplies is already being announced: stationery products recorded an average increase of 9.2% on an annual basis, due to the rise in raw material prices and higher production costs.
