Italy Temporarily Cuts Diesel Tax to Address Rising Fuel Prices
Italy's government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, approved a temporary 17 euro cent per litre cut in diesel excise duties until August 6 to ease rising fuel costs driven by escalating Middle East tensions. The measure aims to support households, transport operators, and farmers amid increased energy prices. Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti noted the relief, costing 125 million euros, may be followed by further measures, including potential support for electricity and gas bills, depending on energy price developments.
