Expensive bills and mortgages for young people are the issues at the top of the urgent files that the Meloni government and in particular the Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti, will have to address in a short time.

Dear Bills

As for the first, it is a question of extending aid to households and businesses for electricity and gas bills, currently in force until December.

As Il Sole 24 ore reports, 5 billion euros will be needed to expand the system of tax credits for the purchase of energy by companies and commercial activities, as provided for in the Aid Ter decree.

Social bonus: it goes towards automatic help

There is also an overhaul of the rules for the social bonus to the poorest families for the payment of bills.

The latter will have to become simpler and more automatic, therefore more kidnapped. The assumption in which the technicians work is to guarantee the bonus to reduce the costs of electricity and gas bills without the need to present the ISEE, today fixed with a ceiling of 12 thousand euros. According to Il Sole 24 Ore, so far almost half of the resources made available by the government for the social bonus have not been exploited.

This means that not all entitled persons requested it, either because they did not know of its existence, or because of the obstacles to obtaining the documents necessary for ISEE certification.

The idea is therefore to offer the bonus directly to those who are entitled to it, without asking for it. It remains to understand how to identify the beneficiaries of the social bonus.

Companies

The way is simpler, however, on business. Aid for the latter should be extended for one month, therefore until the end of December, confirming the mechanism of tax credits already in force. The cost should not exceed 4.7 billion per month.

Mortgages for young couples

In the plans of the Ministry of the Economy there is also the consolidation of assistance for young couples on mortgages for their first home, which is urgent, also in the light of interest increases and the risk of a slowdown. of the real estate market.

The government intends to confirm support for subsidized state-guaranteed mortgage loans for those under 35, already decided at the last Council of Ministers.
