ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Last April the debt of public administrations decreased by 2.9 billion compared to the previous month, resulting in an amount of 3.155.3 billion. This is what the Bank of Italy points out in the report “Public Finance: Requirements and Debt” with which it disseminates the data of April 2026 relating to the debt and requirements of public administrations and tax revenue accounted for in the state budget.
The decree “reflects the decrease in the liquid availability of the Treasury (21.6 billion, at 42.4), partially offset by the requirements of public administrations (16.6 billion) and the effect of discards and premiums for issue and reimbursement, the revaluation of securities indexed to inflation and change of exchange rates (2.1 billion)”. With reference to the breakdown by subsectors, “the decrease in debt is attributable to that observed for central administrations (3.2 billion), partly offset by the increase in local government debt (0.3 billion)”. The debt of the Social Funds “was unchanged”.
The residual average life of the debt – unchanged compared to the previous month – was 7.9 years old. The share of the debt held by the Bank of Italy continued to decrease, placing at 17.3% (from 17.6 of the previous month). In March (last month for which this data is available) that held by non-residents had decreased to 35.2% (from 35.4% of the previous month), while that held by other residents (mainly families and non-financial enterprises) increased to 14.5% (from 14.2% of the previous month).
