Overview
- Government leaders sealed political deals on short‑term rentals (21% on the first unit, 26% on the second, business status from the third), a broader first‑home ISEE exemption, dividend rules and funds for law enforcement.
- About €1 billion in coverage is still required; after meetings with ABI, ANIA and Confindustria, the executive floated a plan worth roughly that amount, centered on a 2.5‑point IRAP rise on banks and insurers expected to raise around €600 million.
- Further resources would come from higher levies tied to motor insurance and potential recovery of past underpayments, drawing protests from lenders who recall an earlier triennial contribution agreement.
- The ECB said it was not consulted on a Senate‑admitted amendment asserting state ownership of Bankitalia’s gold reserves, and legal‑EU constraints render those assets unusable for budget coverage as the measure is reportedly headed for withdrawal.
- The Senate Budget Committee ruled 105 signaled amendments inadmissible, the State Accounting Office is vetting costs and covers, and the calendar foresees compressed mid‑December committee and floor votes.
