The Minister of European Funds, about PNRR: “We are somewhere at 13 billion euros that should be spent in less than a year”

He explained that, given the tax adjustment trajectory, “the tax space we have is a very limited one and then, the loans going directly to the deficit and PNRR being only in 2025-2026, it hit us exactly in these two years in which we have the highest adjustments.”
