The Public Finance Policy Document indicates growth is forecast at 1% in 2026, slowing to 0.8% thereafter, with public debt rising to 138.6% in 2027 before starting to decline. The deficit should fall below 3% of GDP in 2026 thanks to the deviation allowed for defense and energy, allowing Italy to exit the EU infringement procedure. Among the measures under study: extension of the cut in the second Irpef rate up to 60,000 euros, flat tax at 5% for salary increases for young people, possible confirmation of the home bonus at 50-65% and partial use of the national safeguard clause for 28 billion allocated to defense and energy in 2027-2028.

Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said at a press conference that the deficit should remain under 3% in 2026 but rise to 3.4% in 2027, 3.3% in 2028 and 2.4% in 2029, taking into account the additional spending allowed by European rules. It also indicated that the debt-to-GDP ratio will follow a trend profile of 138.1% in 2026, 138.6% in 2027, 137.7% in 2028 and 136.3% in 2029, after the approval of the DPFP by the Council of Ministers.

According to an Eumetra survey, 79% of Italians report an increase in spending on fuel compared to six months ago, exceeding the increases in bills (74%) and food spending (68%). The increase in costs has led 43% to reduce car use and 32% to give up travel, while Istat confirms a decline in consumer and business confidence in September 2026. Facile.it estimates a burden of over 1.3 billion euros more than the previous year, with a possible increase of 36% in October.

In Italy, declared incomes show strong disparities: footballers earn on average 250 thousand euros per year, while nightclub managers declare just over 11 thousand euros. In 2024, approximately 24.8 million Italians did not pay Irpef, despite the overall revenue reaching 216.2 billion euros, concentrated mainly in the highest income brackets.

According to Confesercenti, since 2022 energy shocks have caused the Italian economy to lose 46 billion in purchasing power, over 30 billion in consumption and almost 52 billion in real GDP, while the fiscal pressure has increased by 77 billion in additional taxes for families and businesses compared to 2021. President Gronchi calls for a European shield against vulnerability to external shocks and structural measures to reduce energy costs and lighten labor taxes, warning of an autumn in the balance for the Italian economy.

The Censis-Confcooperative Focus reveals that the underground economy in Italy involves 2.7 million irregular workers and generates over 100 billion in annual tax and social security evasion, deducting an average of 3,350 euros per citizen. Irregular work pays on average half as much as regular work, while under-declaration of income represents the most significant item, with 108.2 billion euros. Deputy Minister Maurizio Leo reports a positive trend in the recovery of tax evasion thanks to technology and AI, respecting privacy and human control.
