After weeks of discussions and government summits, see-saw spreads and Piazza Affari under pressure, the update note from the Def has reached Parliament and will be discussed in the Chamber next week. The document was also sent to Brussels, even if the formal assessment of the maneuver will have to wait for the sending of the Budgetary Planning Document. New details emerge sector by sector.
On health, Minister Giulia Grillo would have obtained an increase in spending, although the exact figures have not yet been confirmed: it is expected that 115,4 billion will be allocated to local health authorities and hospitals, two more than currently forecast, and that the head of the health ministry intends to use it first of all to repeal the 10 euro superticket on visits and analyses. Indeed, the minister stated that leaving the Italian public health requirement at 113,4 billion would entail a risk for the entire sector. Instead, in his opinion, it is necessary to bring this figure to 117,2 billion for next year until it grows to 2021 billion in 121,8, even if there is no clarification on the coverage or cuts to be made to make the system more efficient.
La maneuver is worth about 40 billion and will be financed in deficit, already opening a front with Brussels: 16 are destined for the measures imposed by the two deputy prime ministers Di Maio and Salvini and contained in the government contract, therefore 9 billion for the citizen's income and 7 for overcoming the Fornero law for the labor market, 2 billion for the flat tax, 1 billion and no longer two for the reform of employment centres, one billion for extraordinary hiring for the police and 1,5 billion will replenish the fund for damaged savers from bank cracks. Furthermore, it will be necessary to defuse the safeguard clauses to prevent the 12,4 billion VAT increase, finance the 3,5 billion compulsory expenditure and the promised 3,6 billion investments.
The chapter on the growth of the Italian economy is the most optimistic and reports data above those estimated by the most influential international organizations: for 2019 there is talk of an increase in growth of +1,5%, which rises to 1,6. 2020 in 1,4 and returns to 2021 in 130,9. For debt reduction instead, which today stands at 130%, the aim is 2019% for 128,1, 2020% for 126.7 and 2021% for 9,8. The unemployment rate is also seen downwards, to 2019% in XNUMX.
