Using the reduction of public debt to support investment, employment and purchasing power. That is the request from Domani Motus Liberi, which has weighed in on the outcomes of the International Monetary Fund’s mission to San Marino, urging the government to adopt long-term economic planning.
In a statement issued on November 8, the party points to the drop in public debt below 60% of GDP and estimated growth of 1.3% in 2026, alongside a projected slowdown to 1% in 2027. “It is not enough, in short, to preserve the balances achieved: they must translate into structural reforms capable of genuinely boosting the country’s economic potential,” the statement reads.
According to the party, achieving this goal requires planning that moves beyond what it calls “one-off” and fragmented measures.
The first proposal concerns a national strategy to attract high-value-added investment, ranging from innovation and digital services to data centers and advanced industries. Domani Motus Liberi argues that legal certainty and swift timelines are essential: “too many opportunities have been delayed or lost amid political hesitation and bureaucratic slowdowns.”
The second point concerns the efficiency of the public administration, an issue also raised in the IMF’s assessments cited in the statement. “Digitalization and simplification are not merely about cutting costs, but represent an investment in the competitiveness of businesses and citizens alike,” the party argues.
On the household front, attention is focused on the cost of housing, services and essential goods. “Supporting disposable income, facilitating access to housing and promoting skilled employment also means strengthening domestic demand.”
Linked to this is the role of banks, which Domani Motus Liberi says must return to financing productive activities and new investments, becoming a reliable partner for both families and businesses.
“This requires solid governance, transparency, effective oversight and further progress on non-performing loans.”
The party is also calling for public spending planning tied to measurable targets: “less bureaucracy, productive investment and transparent verification of results.”
One section addresses the Association Agreement with the European Union. Domani Motus Liberi acknowledges the opportunities it could bring, but asks the government to clearly explain its implications and allow citizens to have their say: “the government is called upon to clearly explain its legal and practical implications to citizens, who in our view should have the opportunity to express their opinion on the matter through an informed consultation.”
The statement clarifies that the agreement “cannot replace domestic reforms, which must be implemented regardless of its timing and outcomes.”
“We are convinced that the true test is not merely reducing debt, but using the stability achieved to build lasting jobs, well-being and competitiveness,” Domani Motus Liberi concludes. “The challenge now is to move from budget results to a clear and credible vision of growth for the entire Republic. In other words, from mere reassurances to concrete action.”
