Rome, December 15 (EFECOM). – Italy’s public debt stood at 3.13 trillion euros in October, up 50.7 billion euros from the previous month, Italy’s central bank reported on Monday.
The increase was mainly due to the increase in treasury liquidity, which increased by 31.8 billion euros to 77.2 billion; and on the financing needs of public administrations worth 18.8 billion euros.
The effect of discounts as well as issue and redemption premiums, the revaluation of inflation-indexed securities and exchange rate fluctuations (100 million) also had an influence.
Looking at the distribution by sub-sector, central government debt increased by 50.6 billion euros, while local government debt increased by around 200 million.
The share of debt held by the Bank of Italy continued to decline, reaching 18.8%, compared to 19.1% in the previous month.
In October, tax revenue recorded in the state budget amounted to 43.4 billion euros, 2.5% more (1 billion) than in the same month of 2024.
In the first ten months of 2025, tax revenue was 462.2 billion, an increase of 2.1% (9.7 billion) compared to the same period last year. EFECOM
