Economy & public finances

Italy — Government borrowing rate

Primary KPI: one of the key indicators tracked first for this country.Yield at which the market lends to the State, by borrowing horizon: government bonds from 1 to 10 years, depending on the official series available for each country (daily quotes or monthly averages), with the euro-area overnight rate (€STR, ECB) as a reference. The lower it is, the cheaper the debt is to finance.· Italy — ECB long-term interest rate for convergence purposes (Maastricht criterion), compiled by the Banca d'Italia: monthly average secondary-market yield of 10-year government bonds (BTP). It is the only official Italian State rate released as open data; it is monthly.· 1 day: €STR, the rate at which euro-area banks borrow unsecured overnight (ECB). Not a State borrowing rate, but the benchmark for very short rates.· 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months, 1 and 5 years, and the daily view: not available for Italy. The Banca d'Italia's daily BTP yields are not released as open data, and the Treasury's (MEF) issue yields are monthly and published irregularly.· Weekly, monthly, annual: average of the period's daily quotes; the running period is dashed and is never the value shown.· 1 day : BCE — EST.B.EU000A2X2A25.WT (since Oct 1, 2019)· 10 years : BCE — IRS.M.IT.L.L40.CI.0000.EUR.N.Z (since Nov 1, 2004)

Under debatePassed by the Senate at first deliberation; before the Chamber’s Constitutional Affairs Committee since 19 June 2024 (hearings until July 2025, no vote recorded as of 5 November 2026). A first deliberation by the Chamber, then a second deliberation by each chamber, are still required.The « premierato » constitutional reform: direct election of the Prime MinisterThe Meloni government’s constitutional bill would have the President of the Council of Ministers elected directly, for five years and at the same time as Parliament, with a nationwide seat bonus guaranteeing a majority to the lists linked to them; it also ends the appointment of senators for life by the head of State. The Senate approved it at first deliberation on 18 June 2024. As of 5 November 2026 it is still before the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, which held hearings until July 2025: the Chamber must still approve it, then both chambers must vote on it a second time, at least three months after their first vote.Read the factsheet →
In forcePartially struck down: transfers limited to specific functions justified by subsidiarity; the delegation and procedures for setting essential levels of services (LEP) annulled. Parliament has not amended the text since.Differentiated autonomy act for ordinary-statute regions (Calderoli act, 2024)Law no. 86 of 26 June 2024 sets the procedure by which an ordinary-statute region can obtain extra powers from the State under article 116(3) of the Constitution, through an agreement (intesa) approved by Parliament. In December 2024 the Constitutional Court struck down or rewrote several provisions: only specific functions justified by subsidiarity can be transferred, and the delegation to set the essential levels of services (LEP) fell. In January 2025 it declared the repeal referendum inadmissible. In October 2026 the government approved agreements with Liguria, Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto on four matters; the four bills are before the Chamber of Deputies.Read the factsheet →

Other countries and the European Union: OECD historical population data (annual estimates), since 1950 at the earliest.· Annual population estimates compiled by the OECD (historical population data, both sexes). The four bands are sums of the OECD five-year age groups (0-19 = 0-4 to 15-19; 75 and over = 75-79, 80-84 and 85 and over). Same bands as the France card, but France uses Insee estimates on 1 January: levels are not strictly comparable from one country to another. When the OECD series changes basis (one band moving by more than 15 % in a year, e.g. a new census), the card starts on the new basis.· Licence : OECD terms and conditions — source: OECD, Historical population data

Italy — Population by activity status

Population split into under-15s, employed, unemployed (ILO), retirees and other inactive people; « other inactive » = total population minus the four other groups. France (since 2005): Insee (population, under-15s), OECD (employment and unemployment), COR (retirees of all schemes living in France). United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, United States, Brazil, Mexico: the country's national sources, with the definition of retirees stated on each card. Depending on the source, retirees who work are also counted among the employed.· Population on 1 January and under-15s: Istat, resident population. Employed (15-89) and unemployed (15-74), ILO: Istat Labour Force Survey, annual averages. Retirees: Istat-INPS (central register of pensioners), people living in Italy who receive at least one old-age or seniority pension, all schemes, on 31 December. People whose only pension is a survivor pension are in « other inactive ». The pensioner series ends in 2022, so the card does too.· Retirees who also work are counted both among the employed and among the retirees: « other inactive » is slightly underestimated by that number.· Licence : CC BY 4.0 — Istat
