(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 15 - In February the Italian public debt rose again, reaching yet another record.
The increase reported by the Bank of Italy is 36.9 billion compared to the previous month, such as to bring the overall debt of public administrations to 2,643.8 billion.
The increase is mainly due to the increase in the Treasury's liquidity (27.8 billion, to 102.9). The borrowing requirement (9.2 billion) also contributed, while the effect of spreads and premiums on issue and redemption, the revaluation of inflation-linked securities and the change in exchange rates reduced debt by 0.2 billion.
