Italy’s government posted a deficit of EUR 127.4 billion, or 7.2 percent of the GDP in 2021, amid a surge in spending aiming at supporting the economy weakened by the Covid-19 pandemic and soaring energy costs. The figure compares to an upwardly revised deficit of 9.6 percent in 2020, the highest since at least 1995, but below the official target of 9.4 percent set by the Italian government. Still, net borrowing remains considerately above the pre-pandemic level of 1.5 percent in 2019, which was the lowest since 2007. Looking ahead, the Italian government aims to have the government budget deficit fall to 5.6% in 2022.
