The autumn agenda of the government is packed. August is not even over yet and Giorgia Meloni, interviewed by the financial daily Mf, lists the government’s priorities. Starting with the economic ones that will pave the way towards the 2027 political elections. Among the most complicated chapters (due to the sourcing of necessary resources) is the intervention to reduce taxes. After measures for incomes under 50,000 euros, Meloni reiterates: “We certainly want to do more to further lighten the tax burden on the middle class, which supports Italy and must be rewarded.”
The list of priorities and commitments is endless. Starting with support measures for family businesses. Without forgetting the essential “containment of the energy surge.” And not only at the pump – as has already been done with measures to reduce excise duties – but also on the possible repercussions that in September are feared to bounce back on Italians’ bills.

It is certainly important to find a way to “increase the purchasing power of Italians.” Meloni recalls that today the per capita GDP has “increased, compared to 2022, by 4,500 euros.” But it is still not enough. “There is room to do better.” The already anticipated intention is to continue with contract renewals to recover the erosion caused by the cost of living that has reduced purchasing power. The negotiation between business organizations and unions is already underway. The government intends to accelerate. So as to support economic growth.
Italy has managed to obtain from Brussels bureaucrats a greater flexibility equal to 14 billion “which many thought impossible but which we have achieved” by asserting “the national interest.” Thanks to the flexibility obtained (“granted for defense commitments and extended to energy”) our “country in the next 2 years” will thus “be able to mitigate the impact of price increases on vulnerable families and businesses.” But there is more. With the European Commission “we will verify the possibility of using these resources to encourage the development and purchase of technologies produced in Italy and Europe, to support our productive fabric and strengthen our competitiveness.”
Certainly “we must continue” to guarantee “stability. Which the government has ensured allowing Italy to face with greater security what is the most difficult conjuncture of recent decades.” The Prime Minister recalls that when her government took office “government bonds were on the verge of being downgraded to ‘junk’ level and the spread was at 240 points, three times higher than current values. Today the picture is very different. The Italian economy is holding up well. And the data for the first two quarters of 2026 are encouraging, with growth of 1% compared to April-June 2025 and an acquired progression for 2026 of 0.8%,” Meloni states.

But there is also an old taboo to be archived. And to accelerate the return to new generation nuclear power to integrate the Italian energy mix. Detaching the country from dependence on politically unstable supplier countries (Russia and the Middle East above all). Among other issues at stake is certainly the attention on Mps. “Back in health.” And has become “the prized piece on which attention is focused. I hope,” warns Meloni, “that from market dynamics an even more solid and competitive system may emerge.”
