Energy Relief: Italy reintroduced a temporary diesel tax cut of 17 euro cents per litre until Aug. 6 to cushion households and businesses from fuel-price pressure linked to Middle East tensions.

Defense & Trade: Saipem cut its 2026 earnings guidance due to Middle East crisis costs, while Nigeria’s NAF says it has cleared Italy-built M-346 jets for delivery. Tourism Pulse: Greece and Italy lead Europe’s early-2026 tourism rebound, with Italy up 21% in arrivals (spending up 4.3%).
