(Finance) – In progress a Palazzo Chigi the meeting between government And employers’ associations on the Budget Bill, chaired by the Undersecretary of the Prime Minister’s Office Alfredo Mantovanoas the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was busy in Baku, Azerbaijan, with the 29th UN Conference on Climate Change (COP29). This is what we learn from Palazzo Chigi sources.
Speaking at the beginning to illustrate the fundamental points of the provision, the Minister of Economy and Finance Giancarlo Giorgetti he underlined how compared to other European states, Italy is in a decidedly better position in the presentation of the Budget Law. Among other things, Giorgetti pointed out that the new accounting rules of expenditure adopted at European level will make it important to align the profile from expenditure to actual budget allocations.
As already done in the Budget Committee, the minister recalled the need to induce administrations to concentrate all efforts on the works and initiatives of the PNRR by 2026, before other types of investments and other capital expenditure, because Italy needs all the funds to be spent. The minister also confirmed the Government’s willingness to continue working to find resources to be allocated to significant reductions in the tax burden of the middle class.
The meeting is taking place in a serene and constructive atmosphere, the sources themselves underline. The representatives of the employers’ associations presented their own opinions ratings regarding the Budget Bill by providing its contributions. The Government has expressed willingness to welcome the suggestions during the parliamentary examination where these lead to an improvement of the provision.

According to what we learn, on the occasion of the meeting at Palazzo Chigi between government and businesses on the budget bill minister Zangrillo he underlined: “The development of the business system also passes through a virtuous relationship with the bureaucracy, which must be capable of acting as an ally, without obviously giving up the objective of protecting the public interest. Therefore, administrative simplification must be a tool to achieve this partnership. We are doing it together, sharing working tables with the business system that encourage mutual listening and virtuous dialogue. This shared method will allow us to obtain results that are recognizable by the business system, moving towards a true simplification of the public/private relationship. This is what we have done in these first 2 years of government and what we want to continue doing, also using new technologies, including artificial intelligence. The objective of 600 simplified procedures by 2026, as envisaged by the Italian PNRR, is certainly achievable if we continue to work together”.
The Minister of Business and Made in Italy Adolfo Ursus instead, he announced that simplification measures for the Transition 5.0 plan will be prepared immediately, to make it easier for businesses to access. Urso also underlined the government’s commitment to strengthening the Housing Plan for workers and the Guarantee Fund for SMEs, which in the first nine months of this year welcomed over 173 thousand applications, allowing the activation of almost 30 billion of bank financing for SMEs.
