ROMA (ITALPRESS) – In January, according to the data of the Bank of Italy, the debt of public administrations has increased by 16.8 billion compared to the previous month, resulting in pairs to 3.112.3 billion. The increase reflects the growth of the treasury’s liquid stocks (9,5 billion, 61,9) and the public administrations’ requirements (8,0 billion), while the effect of wastes and premiums to issue and refund, the revaluation of securities indexed to inflation and exchange rates has operated in the opposite direction (0,8 billion). With reference to subsector allocation, the increase in debt is attributable to that of central administrations (16.6 billion) and to that of local administrations (0.2 billion). The debt of pensioners remained almost unchanged. The residual average life remained stable at 7.9 years.
The share of the debt held by the Bank of Italy continued to decline, placing itself at 18.3% (from 18.5% of the previous month). In December the share held by non-residents had increased to 34.4% (from 34.3% of the previous month) while the share held by other residents (mainly households and non-financial enterprises) had decreased to 14.4% (from 14.5%). Finally, Bankitalia points out that, as already specified in the Mef Tax Revenue bulletin, for technical reasons connected with past accounting, the comparison between the revenue of the January 2026 balance sheet and those of the corresponding month of 2025 is strongly uneven. Unevenness will be resolved with data relating to the February month’s collection.
