MILAN - Italy approved on Wednesday a further extension to a cut in excise taxes on fuel at the pump, which would have expired in September, a joint statement by the Finance and Ecological Transition ministries said.
The 25 euro cent ($0.26) per litre cut, introduced soon after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, will now expire on Oct. 5 instead of September 20.
The cut had already been extended in May, June, July and at the beginning of August.
