Public debt in Italy rose to unprecedented levels in June, jumping by more than $30 billion to more than $3.1 trillion.
The Italian Central Bank said in a statement "The nominal value of the state's public debt in June 2023 reached 2843.1 billion euros ($3134 billion), an increase of 27.8 billion euros ($30.7 billion) from the previous May".
