Giorgetti’s 2024 Budget, caught between European rules and European elections

The minister says that the government’s economic policy will be “compatible with the Stability Pact”. Bank of Italy and Upb confirm the government’s “prudent” line for 2023. But for 2024, the election year, there are already 30 billion in promises and just 4 billion in coverage

The simultaneous hearings on the Def at the joint Budget commissions of the House and Senate of the Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgettifrom the Bank of Italy and ofParliamentary Budget Office (Upb) helped to clarify. What is clear to everyone is not what will be in the next budget law, but what the government’s economic planning is shrouded in uncertainty.
