Italian government prepares new fuel decree as Meloni meets Giorgetti

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has met with Minister of Economy and Finance Giancarlo Giorgetti to discuss measures addressing rising fuel prices across the country.

According to government sources, the executive is preparing a new emergency decree to cushion the impact of high petrol and diesel costs on consumers and businesses. The proposed intervention is expected to combine flexible excise duties with additional financial coverage to fund temporary discounts at the pump. The meeting at Palazzo Chigi underscores growing political pressure to mitigate inflation driven by energy costs, as ministers finalize the details and funding mechanisms for the impending measure.
