The National Recovery and Resilience Plan is not enough to close the financial gap for the country's strategic infrastructure. As of August 31, 2024, the total cost of priority strategic works is €483 billion, but available financial resources amount to only €343 billion, leaving 29% of the total, equivalent to €139.9 billion, uncovered. This is according to an analysis by the Unimpresa Study Center, which shows that compared to August 2023, the total cost of infrastructure has increased by €35.6 billion (+7.9%). This increase was mainly due to design upgrades and tariff adjustments to meet price increases, which accounted for €23.3 billion. An additional €12.3 billion resulted from revised costs for the cross-border sections of the Turin-Lyon and Brenner rail lines, related to the advancement of procedures and required economic adjustments.
