Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti
on Tuesday defended the government's 2024 budget bill, saying it
seeks to help the less wealthy sectors of society.
"It was not easy to select from the many requests, all
legitimate, during the debate within the executive (on the
budget)," Giorgetti said on World Savings Day.
"We decided to focus on support for the less well-off".
Among other things, the 28-billion-euro budget bill will
maintain a six-percentage-point reduction in the labour-tax
wedge for those earning up to 35,000 euros a year and the
seven-percentage-point reduction for those earning up to 25,000
euros.
