However, all three provinces record an average income lower than the regional average of Emilia-Romagna, which in 2022 stood at 23,713 euros.

“Despite the increase in average income, a worrying reality emerges: inflation has eroded part of these gains – he declares the general secretary of CISL Romagna Francesco Marinelli – The purchasing power of Romagna citizens has been compromised by the increase in living costs, putting a strain on families’ spending capacity. Increasing incomes is important, but must be accompanied by measures that effectively protect citizens’ purchasing power. Targeted investments, support for families and policies to combat inflation could be some of the ways forward. We must then focus our energies on concrete actions to recover tax evasion and avoidancebringing back fundamental resources both for investments and to reduce the tax burden on employees and pensioners, those who pay taxes every year down to the last cent”.
