Deficit and Superbonus. The Istat revision changes nothing and everything

The deficit worsens in 2021 (from -7.2 to -9 per cent) and in 2022 (from -5.6 to -8 per cent), but the accounting change has a neutral impact on the accounts. Eurostat’s new criteria, however, force the government to save the 2023 budget and put an end to crazy bonuses like 110 percent

The much feared audit of public accounts by Istat (together with Eurostat), due to the reclassification of Superbonus he was born in Facade bonuses, she has arrived. The deficit figures for the last three years have considerably worsened, albeit with a neutral impact over time. In essence, it is just a different accounting criterion, which does not change the public charges. Thus, according to data published yesterday by the Statistical Institute, the 2020 deficit reaches -9.7% (down by 0.2 points) e that of 2021 marks -9% (down by 1.8 points). For 2022, on the other hand, net borrowing will reach -8%with a deterioration of 2.4 points compared to the 5.6% estimated by the government in the Nadef.
