ITALY’S FISCAL PLAN IS DOABLE, BUT ONLY UNTIL 2027 - CITI
Italy's debt outlook is under scrutiny from the ratings agencies and markets, while the risk premium on its government bonds remains the highest in the euro area periphery.
The new 7-year fiscal plan released last week projects net primary expenditure growth, the new parameter used to assess EU fiscal rules compliance, to stay close to 1.5% per annum, in line with the EU Commission's target set for Italy.
"The updated fiscal plans confirm the ongoing improvement in Italy's fiscal performance, mostly owing to higher-than-expected tax revenues," Citi analysts say in a research note.
"The down-revision of the 2024-25 budget deficits by 0.5 percentage points of GDP is sizable by historical standards, and it stands out when compared to deficit overruns elsewhere (e.g. in France)," they add.
"We reckon complying with these targets is doable over the next two to three years, more challenging in the more medium term (post-2027) as EU-financed fiscal support via NGEU will fade," Citi analysts argue.
The government led by Giorgia Meloni will be in charge for five years from October 2022, assuming it serves its full term without early elections.
The Italian Treasury said in its multi-year fiscal plan that Italy's public debt will only start falling as a proportion of economic output from 2027, despite a more positive trend in addressing its significant budget deficit.
