Budget maneuver, a fiery week of hearings and meetings: the calendar and who will be heard by the Government

The Italian government is set to conduct a series of hearings regarding the 2027 budget, focusing on sensitive issues such as pension cuts and financial contributions from banks and insurance companies. The hearings will begin on November 9, with various stakeholders including the Court of Auditors and industry representatives scheduled to present their views. Key discussions will revolve around the proposed pension indexing cuts, which will affect higher pension amounts disproportionately. The week will culminate in meetings at Palazzo Chigi with businesses and unions to address broader economic concerns.
