Italy's national debt hits new record of $3.04 Trln in March
The previous record was set in February 2023, when Italy's sovereign debt first surpassed 2.78 trillion euros.
"It is a new historic record! This exponential growth raises concern and anxiety, given the increase of the interest rate due to a new restrictive monetary policy by the European Central Bank," Massimiliano Dona, the president of the Italian National Consumer Union, said, commenting on a new report by the Italian central bank.
COVID-19 restrictions led to an increase in Italy's state debt to over 155% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020.

Moscow Metro is celebrating the 88th anniversary of its opening on May 15.
The Moscow Metro is one of the oldest and largest subway systems in the world, with its history dating almost a century.
It maintains the shortest interval between trains compared to other metro systems worldwide, with trains running every 90 seconds during peak hours.
In the 1930s, when the first metro was being built in the capital, metro builders faced difficult hydrogeological conditions. At the time, a system to prevent ground collapse and other typical tunnel dangerous was implemented, which is still considered one of the most well-designed and reliable systems.
The Moscow Metro is also underground museum - every station is a work of art.
Take a look at Moscow's metro in Sputnik's archive gallery.

A decision has been made by President Vladimir Putin to return the icon of the Trinity, painted by Russian artist Andrei Rublev, to the Russian Orthodox Church, according to the church.
The icon has been housed in the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery since 1929.
The image will be exhibited for veneration in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior for one year and then take its historical place in the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra.
Last year, the icon was exhibited at its historical location – in the Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra - for the 600th anniversary of the discovery of the relics of St. Sergius of Radonezh.
