Italy's government is set to approve a budget involving a deviation of around €7 billion, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said, adding that the proposals would be submitted to the European Commission in Brussels before moving forward.
Tajani said the government intends to proceed with its budget plans once the proposals receive approval from EU authorities in Brussels, according to the report from ANSA.
Budget process
EU member states are required to submit their draft budgetary plans to the European Commission as part of the bloc's fiscal coordination framework, which monitors compliance with EU rules on deficit and debt levels. A "deviation" in this context typically refers to divergence from previously agreed fiscal trajectories, often tied to specific spending priorities or economic circumstances.
Tajani did not specify in the available remarks which spending areas would account for the roughly €7 billion deviation, nor did he provide a detailed timeline for submission or expected approval from Brussels.
Wider context
Italy's fiscal policy has remained under close scrutiny from EU institutions in recent years, given the country's substantial public debt levels. Budget negotiations between Rome and Brussels are a recurring feature of Italy's annual fiscal planning process.
Further details on the budget's full contents are expected as the government finalizes its proposals ahead of submission.
