AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoElectoral Reform: Italy’s parliament gave final approval to Giorgia Meloni’s contested election law, passing it 227–164. The system awards bonus seats to a coalition winning at least 42% of the vote; opponents say it tilts the rules in the government’s favor and plan a constitutional challenge. The change also puts pressure on divided opposition parties to agree on a joint leader. Budget and Energy: Meloni is urging the EU to account for inflation when enforcing budget rules, as rising fuel costs squeeze households and businesses. Italy has also let a diesel tax cut expire, drawing warnings of further strain on transport. Defence: Britain says it is open to Germany joining the fighter-jet programme with Italy and Japan, potentially widening cooperation and sharing development costs. Technology Investment: Italy’s data-centre sector forecasts $41.5 billion in investment by 2036, as the country seeks to attract major digital infrastructure projects.
