IMF Staff Country Reports-Italy: Selected Issues
February 6, 2019--REFORMING ITALY'S SOCIAL WELFARE SYSTEM AND LOWERING TAXES ON LABOR: SOME CONSIDERATIONS2
The Italian authorities are keen to improve Italy's social welfare system. They plan to introduce a new citizenship income program, aimed at assisting the poor and facilitating their reintegration into the labor market.
They also plan to gradually lower taxes on labor income. With a social safety net centered on pensions and the elderly and an array of income support schemes as well as a heavy tax burden falling on labor income, there is significant scope to improve Italy's system of taxes and transfers to promote growth and inclusion. This note uses the tax-benefit microsimulation model for the European Union (EUROMOD) to evaluate possible reforms to modernize Italy's social safety net as well as ways to lower the tax wedge on labor.

Monday Morning Memo: Review 2018-Rough Markets took their toll from the European Fund Industry
February 4, 2019--The European fund industry faced estimated net outflows of €129.2 bn in 2018 after six consecutive years with net inflows.
