Facing an EU deadline, the Italian government approved and presented a draft of the Budgetary Policy Document (Dpb) on Tuesday. This includes key financial measures for the 2026 period, testing whether €18 billion in tax cuts and support can pass scrutiny from the opposition on the 20th — without rattling Brussels or the markets.
The European deadline required the approval of a draft by the 15th, despite it lacking some significant details. The government will meet on Friday to hammer out details while the opposition will discuss the measures the week after.
