New income set to provide a small amount of money (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

centesimo

'a small amount of money' is the definition.
(a hundredth of a lira, former Italian currency)

'new income set' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'income'+'set'='incomeset'
'incomeset' with letters rearranged gives 'CENTESIMO'.

'to provide' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for centesimo that I've seen before include "old money" , "small amount in some countries" , "Monetary unit of Uruguay and Panama" , "Panamanian money" , "very little money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
