Italy's Audit Court on Monday
called on the government to beef up an ongoing review of public
spending.
"More incisive action on the rationalization of expenditure
is needed," the State auditor told a parliamentary hearing on
the government's budget plan for 2019.
It said this should feature the "preventative identification
of areas of inefficiency and ineffectiveness to intervene on
with targeted cuts".
It said the the "planned savings and (financial) coverage" in
the budget focus "above all on changes, reprogramming or
reductions in funding allocations that have not yet started,
repeating decisions of the past".
