Golden Ten Data reported on March 9 that Italian media stated Prime Minister Meloni plans to swiftly advance a new decree to address the surge in energy prices caused by the Middle East war. According to reports, Meloni is expected to discuss this initiative at the cabinet meeting on Tuesday. It is currently unclear whether the decree will include measures such as imposing a windfall tax on energy companies. On Sunday, Meloni reiterated on Rete 4 TV: "We are determined to combat speculative behavior." Last Thursday, she stated: "If necessary, I am also prepared to intervene by increasing taxes on companies engaging in speculative activities and use the revenue to reduce utility bills." According to the Italian newspaper "Il Messaggero," Italy's current mechanism for hedging against rising energy prices is to redistribute fuel taxes when oil prices exceed a certain level. This mechanism can partially reduce consumer prices, but it does not work effectively in the event of a sudden price spike.
