King Charles III, expected from 27 October to 4 November in Guyana, the Bahamas and Antigua and Barbuda, intends to openly address the issue of colonialism and slavery during his tour of Commonwealth countries, according to Buckingham Palace sources. The monarch, who turns 78 in November, highlights the importance of debates about the colonial legacy and transgenerational consequences of slavery, in line with his previous admissions in 2021. Caribbean countries demand a formal apology and economic reparations from the UK, which has so far refused to open concrete negotiations.

Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti presented the public finance policy document, forecasting a deficit of 3.4% in 2027 and 3.3% in 2028, with a reduction in defense efforts. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote to the European Commission asking for greater spending flexibility due to the impact of higher-than-expected inflation, while the EU responded that it had already granted greater flexibility to member states.

The Council of Ministers approved the public finance planning document and the report on the gap, requesting flexibility for around 14 billion in 2027 and 2028 for defense and energy. Minister Giorgetti said the deficit should remain below 3% in 2026 but rise to 3.5% in 2027, 3.3% in 2028 and 2.4% in 2029, with GDP growth updated to 1% for 2026.

The Council of Ministers approved the public finance planning document and the report on the gap, with a request for flexibility equal to 14 billion for 2027 and 14 billion for 2028, equal to 0.3% of GDP for defense and 0.3% for energy each year. Minister Giorgetti stated that the deficit should remain below 3% in 2026, but rise to 3.5% in 2027, 3.3% in 2028 and fall to 2.4% in 2029, taking into account the additional spending allowed by European rules. He also revised the GDP growth estimates: to 1% for 2026, then 0.8% in 2027, 0.9% in 2028 and 0.8% in 2029, calling for caution in the drafting of the Budget Law.

The Council of Ministers approved the public finance planning document and the report on the deviation, confirming the agreement on the national safeguard clause for 7 billion per year allocated to energy and defense for the next two years. 2026 GDP is forecast at 1%, with a deficit under 2.9%. Giorgetti underlines the complexity of the context and the difficulty of making predictions.
