According to Scope Ratings, Italys rising budget deficits for this year and the following year could prevent it from receiving bond support from the European Central Bank ECB, harming its credit profile. Italy recently increased its deficit targets while cutting growth forecasts, which caused the yield difference between Italian and German bonds to reach its most prominent position since March—more than 200 basis points.
