Majority sources said the aim is to reach a synthesis and approve the 2027 budget law in the Council of Ministers in the week of 26 October 2026, subject to technical work and talks with EU institutions on flexibility margins.
Resources are to be concentrated on families, the middle class, young people and the elderly, according to majority sources speaking after the 22 October 2026 summit at Palazzo Chigi.
The meeting also covered strengthening the healthcare system and containing energy costs for citizens and businesses, two chapters described as central to the budget.
Ample space was given to young people and their prospects, with a discussion of possible measures in their favour, per majority sources.
Majority leaders met again at Palazzo Chigi on 22 October 2026 to review the priorities and available resources for the 2027 budget law (Legge di Bilancio 2027). Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, deputy prime ministers Antonio Tajani and Matteo Salvini, Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti and Maurizio Lupi, leader of Noi Moderati, took part. According to majority sources, Salvini joined by video link from Milan, and undersecretaries Giovanbattista Fazzolari and Alfredo Mantovano also attended the meeting.
The stated goal is to reach a synthesis and bring the budget to a cabinet meeting in the week of 26 October 2026. That timetable depends on progress in technical reviews and on talks with European institutions over the room for fiscal flexibility. Majority sources presented the schedule as conditional rather than fixed.
The discussion focused on concentrating resources on the main economic and social priorities, with particular attention to families, the middle class, young people and the elderly. Strengthening the healthcare system and containing energy costs for citizens and businesses were also on the agenda. Majority sources said ample space went to young people and their prospects, with a discussion of possible measures in their favour.
The majority parties committed to continue coordinated work to settle the final details of the budget, seeking shared solutions that support economic growth while respecting Italy's financial stability. Talks will continue in the coming days to reconcile competing priorities, the sources said. Approval of the text in cabinet will depend on completing technical checks and European-level exchanges.
