"The high prices represent in all respects a "cancer" for millions of families, the more aggressive the lower the income of the households - says the president of Codacons Carlo Rienzi commenting on the inflation data of Bankitalia - Suffice it to say that for the poorest families the inflation rate in December 2022 reached 17.9% according to Bankitalia, against 9.9% of households with higher incomes. An inequality that widens the gap between rich citizens and less affluent citizens, and affects the wealth of families".
To cope with skyrocketing inflation and support consumption, Italians are forced to dent their savings. An emergency situation that continues in 2023: the latest Istat data tell us that for primary goods such as food and shopping cart, price growth is still very strong (respectively + 11.9% and + 11.3% in May). Urgent measures are therefore needed to control retail price lists, and the Government must include the price emergency as a priority on its agenda - concludes Codacons.
