Comment

In comparison with the previous year, the March 2021 State working balance benefited from the increase in fiscal revenues that last year had been affected by the suspension of tax payments due to the Covid-19 health emergency.

This improvement has been partially offset by the increase in expenditure, mainly related to disbursement by the Revenue Agency and the Civil Protection in the context of the policy measures to contain the consequences of the pandemic.

Interest expenditure on Government bonds have decreased by about Euro 140 million.
