Italy’s sovereign debt has grown 2.1 percent since December, adding about €59 billion to reach a record total of €2.74 trillion, according to the Bank of Italy.
“The debt of each family…would amount to €104,482—a debt for a heart attack,” Massimiliano Dona, president of Italy’s National Consumers Union, said in a public statement.
The previous record debt of €2.735 trillion was set in August 2021. The total dropped to €2.68 trillion in December, then began climbing again.
