Adiconsum warns of rising cost of living pressures on Italian families
Adiconsum has highlighted the increasing economic pressure on Italian families, particularly the middle class and vulnerable groups. The organization notes that geopolitical conflicts in Europe and the Middle East continue to drive up prices for fuel, groceries, and school-related expenses.
In addition to the rising cost of living, local taxation, such as TARI, is significantly impacting household budgets. Adiconsum reports an increase in individuals seeking assistance through the Fund for the Prevention of Over-indebtedness and Usury, which is managed by the Ministry of Economy and Finance to support families struggling with essential costs like rent, utilities, and healthcare.
