Italy is experiencing a 4.2% year-on-year food inflation rate, a rise that heavily impacts household purchasing power, according to RFI.
In response, Giorgia Meloni’s government has requested the European Commission to include the issue of inflationary pressure on the agenda of the Ecofin Council meeting scheduled for October 9.
The aim of this request is to secure additional budgetary flexibility to support Italian businesses and households facing soaring food prices.
