Despite the question about Italy in the title, this September 2022 piece mainly comments on a Canadian cost-of-living survey and a British inflation forecast. Montemagno worries about households cutting spending and struggling to absorb unexpected costs, while urging caution with surveys. He closes by hoping that things are better in Italy.

Key points

• The cited survey concerns Canadian households and difficulties with spending and unexpected costs.
• The British reference is a forecast from that time; Italy receives a hopeful remark, not a statistical claim.
