Purchasing power in Italy increased above the EU average
Rome, February 10 (Hibya) - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that Eurostat data indicated an increase in the purchasing power of Italians above the European Union average.
Prime Minister Meloni pointed out that the data published by Eurostat show an increase in purchasing power per capita in Italy.
Meloni stated that in the third quarter of 2025, the purchasing power per capita increased by 1.7%, which is almost three times the increase observed in Spain and Germany, while a decline was recorded in France. The period between the fourth quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2025 saw an increase of 3.5%. During the same period, Spain had an increase of 0.9%, Germany 0.3%, and France experienced a decline of 0.4%. These are the highest increases recorded among European Union countries.
Meloni added that since her government came to power, the total increase in purchasing power has been 7.5%, which has largely offset the effects of high inflation during the 2022-2023 period.
