Meloni Wins Hope of Moody’s Italy Upgrade From Brink of Junk

Moody's Ratings shifted Italy's outlook toward a possible upgrade on May 23, 2025, after Premier Giorgia Meloni’s fiscal efforts improved market sentiment.
This event follows Moody's negative outlook in August 2022, which shadowed Meloni’s election and reflected Italy’s high debt and slow growth challenges.
Support from S&P Global and positive signals from Fitch and DBRS, along with Italy's reduced bond yield spreads, indicate growing investor confidence despite persistent fiscal risks.
Moody's cited a more positive fiscal forecast driven by stronger-than-anticipated budget results this year and a steady political climate, Finance Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti stated.
The potential upgrade underscores the government's challenge to maintain a deficit below 3% amid economic and geopolitical pressures, leaving Italy’s elevated debt a lasting constraint.
