SBP's focus on pensions-healthcare says Giorgetti (2)

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 28 - The mid-term 2025-2029 Structural Budget Plan "leaves nobody behind" and focuses on the "sustainability of the pension system and the quality of healthcare", Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti wrote in the introduction of the document which was delivered to the Lower House and Senate, according to EU regulations approved by the European Parliament and the Council in April this year, Palazzo Chigi has said.
    "The greatest challenge for the country is represented by the elevated stock of public debt and by the relative burden of interests" which "have unsettled any margin to draw public policies to support growth over the last decades", Giorgetti also wrote. "The spaces, although limited, for public investments granted by the Plan starting in 2027 and a prudent and credible budget policy are two crucial elements to attack the weight of debt and expenditure on interests, easing it in a structural manner", wrote Giorgetti, adding that the "fiscal policy path which the Plan proposes is realistic, credible and cautious".
