"The government - explained the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti - is open to discussions with the Budget Commission regarding a solution compatible with the legislation and the commitments undertaken by the previous government on the Pnrr". This is the crux which, in the interlocution with Brussels, led to the rethinking. The executive "supports", explained Giorgetti, forms of “refreshment or compensation for operators who will have to face a greater burden for the commissions applied on these transactions”. The ceiling for cash remains at 5 thousand euros.

- from 55% to 53% for pensions between 5 and 6 times the minimum;
- from 50% to 47% for pensions between 6 and 8 times the minimum;
- from 40% to 37% for pensions between 8 and 10 times the minimum;
- from 35% to 32% for pensions over 10 times the minimum (over 5 thousand euros).
