Italy 2027 budget plan outlines €23.5 billion in measures
The Italian government has submitted its 2027 Budgetary Programming Document (DPB) to the European Union, outlining a fiscal framework of approximately €23.5 billion. The plan prioritizes social spending and families with an allocation of roughly €5 billion, while also earmarking funds for defense and business support, including energy and renewables.
The budget includes a controversial measure to levy approximately €5 billion from the financial and insurance sectors in 2027. This has drawn strong criticism from the Italian Banking Association (ABI), which argues the move impacts savers and investors rather than just bankers. Political reactions within the majority are divided, with some leaders calling for dialogue and others supporting the contribution.
Additionally, the government expects to generate approximately €690 million annually from the gaming and gambling sector. Economic projections from the Bank of Italy suggest a GDP growth of approximately 1% in 2026, though uncertainty remains due to global energy prices and geopolitical tensions. The deficit is projected to be around 3.4% of GDP in 2027.
