ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The Istat has distributed the main data of the Notification on net debt and the debt of the Public Administrations relating to the period 2022-2025, transmitted to the European Commission in the context of the Excessive Disadvantages Procedure provided for by the Maastricht Treaty.
The communication, which has not received reservations from the European authorities, is one of the main instruments for monitoring public finance in the European Union. The data, processed according to the European System of Accounts (SEC 2010), show for 2025 a net debt of the Public Administrations pairs to 69,4 billion euros, corresponds to 3,1% of the GDP, in improvement regarding 3,4% recorded in 2024.
The primary balance is 0.8% of GDP, with an increase of 0.3 percentage points compared to the previous year, while interest spending remains stable at 3.9% of GDP. On the public debt front, the data indicate a total level of 3.095.9 billion euros at the end of 2025, equivalent to 137.1% of GDP, an increase of 2.4 percentage points compared to 2024. Statistics, published in collaboration with the Bank of Italy and coordinated at national level by Istat, are subject to audit by Eurostat in the European process of monitoring the quality of public finance data.
The processing takes into account the most recent information available, including revisions related to Superbonus and Transition 5.0 tax credits and expenses financed by the PNRR, which resulted in minor updates without changing the debt/Pil ratio. The overall picture confirms an improvement of the deficit, but at the same time highlights the persistence of a high level of public debt, which continues to represent one of the main indicators of attention for the sustainability of Italian public finances in the European context.
