ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The Council of the Parliamentary Budgetary Office (UPB) validated on 29 September the macroeconomic forecasts of the Public Finance Programme Document (DPFP) 2026, at the conclusion of a procedure of comparison with the Mef over the past few weeks. The SUPB assessed that overall estimates of the main variables of the DFPF 2026 macroeconomic framework do not have significant deviations from an acceptable range, although in some cases the forecasts fall on the upper end or just beyond the estimates of the UPB panel.

In particular: in 2026-27 the growth of real GDP is maintained for two tenths of percentage point below the upper end defined by the UPB panel and is aligned with the median values, while in the two-year period 2028-29 marginally exceeds the upper limit, for 0.1 percentage points per year; The growth combined on the entire horizon 2026-29, equal to 3.2%, is substantially consistent with expectations, only slightly exceeding (0.2 percentage points) the estimates of the panel.

The variation of nominal GDP – variable directly relevant to public finance – is plausible, located near the panel median and aligned with the expectations of the UB; The cumulative increase in nominal GDP falls within the evaluation range, attesting just above the panel’s expected average. These estimates are carried out in a fragile and unstable international scenario, so macroeconomic conditions could change significantly and in a short time. The main risk factors can be identified in four areas: geopolitical tensions, wars and protectionism, greater sources of uncertainty with effects on the economy of difficult quantification; the dynamic of investments, on which risk factors associated with the evolution of the international but also national framework, the latter characterized by uncertainties on the accumulation of public capital after the conclusion of the PNRR.

The volatility of markets and monetary policies: seen also the current tensions on the bond markets and the monetary restrictions recently adopted by the EDF, in the medium term an increase of the aversion to the risk of operators, which would be transmitted on the prices of sovereign bonds of high debt countries, including Italy; the climate and environmental risk, to be considered structural element of vulnerability: the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events caused by the general economic and environmental impacts. The PUPB will also evaluate the programmatic macroeconomic framework of the DPFP, which incorporates the effects of budgetary adjustment, communicating the outcome during the next parliamentary hearing on the Document itself.

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Despite the spread of credit products in support of energy efficient construction and real estate, the EU still lacks a broadly shared green loan definition. This is what the Bank of Italy highlights in a study contained in the publication “Prestiti Verdi: a proposal for a simplified EU definition”.

Starting from the work of the European Banking Authority (EBA) on green loans and green loans, the document argues that the lack of a harmonised and operational definition of green loan represents a significant obstacle to the expansion of green credit and the collection of consistent data on its risk profile.

The Bank’s document proposes a harmonised definition based on the recommendations of the EBA and the prevailing market practices, it maintains the EU’s Taxonomy as a reference point, while introducing a complementary and non-substitutional operating path – based on energy performance metrics already widely used in credit delivery processes.

With regard to the policy option considered more suitable for the introduction of the proposed definition, both solutions suggested by the EBA (i.e. a recommendation on a conceptual framework for green loans or a specific legislative initiative) could be supported. In both cases, however, it would be appropriate that: the adoption of the classification of “green loans EU” remained on a voluntary basis, in order not to hinder market practices considered more suitable by credit institutions to their business models; the inclusion of the loan in the scope of green loans took place at the time of delivery, with a revision planned only in the presence of a reasonable certainty of the impossibility to respect the commitment assumed. Further criteria may be suggested at a later stage, taking into account, for example, the development of a comprehensive portfolio reference framework. The Bank of Italy confirms its commitment to maintain an open and constructive dialogue with all the competent authorities and stakeholders, remaining ready to contribute to the current political debate.

The Veneto, with Porto Marghera, can be a gateway to European markets and a strategic hub to attract new investments. Around this project we can build an integrated supply chain, connecting the Interporto Dial Europa di Verona, the ports of Trieste and Ravenna and the Tassullo mine in Val di Non, example of valorization of the underground with a reduced consumption of soil. The goal is to set up ports, logistics, industry and mineral resources.

The professional journalist, 50 years old, succeeds Lorena Saracino and takes the lead of the magazine and its editorial network. The direction of Procacci includes the entire information perimeter of the newspaper: from the national edition to the territorial presence in Puglia, to the Piedmont and the Valle d’Aosta, where L’Edicola is proposed in synergy and native combination with La Sentinella del Canavese, historical local signature with over 130 years of history.

Procacci is also entrusted with the development of a new multimedia publishing pole that, next to the printed paper, the web and the social ones, will gradually be accompanied by radio and television media in the Mezzogiorno of Italy. A project that aims to integrate languages, platforms and territories into a single information system.

Procacci arrives at the direction of L’Edicola after more than thirty years of journalistic profession, 23 of them spent in Telenorba, where he held several roles over time: correspondent, envoy, editor, author and host of the main programs of the issuer, until he became deputy director of the TgNorba and conductor of the main edition of the news, that of 7.30. His professional career also includes several experiences in printed paper at the beginning of his career. The publisher’s choice aims to combine Procacci’s long journalistic experience with a cross-media view of information, based on the integration between paper, web, social, video and new communication tools, in the sign of accuracy and service to readers.

“I have accepted this challenge with enthusiasm and determination – says Antonio Procacci –. Driving The newsstand and contributing to the construction of a new editorial pole in the Mezzogiorno is a privilege and a great responsibility. We want to build information capable of combining different territories and languages, without losing sight of what I consider the essence of our trade: telling the facts, asking questions, going beyond the surface of the news and trying to explain what changes in people’s lives. After so many years, especially in front of a camera, I have no intention to stop putting my face on. I will also do this in L’Edicola: on our social channels there will be daily appointments in which I will tell and comment the most important facts of the day, along with interviews, direct and new video content. The card will remain fundamental, but the newsstand will have to live and inform throughout the day, on all platforms.”.

The publisher expresses to Antonio Procacci the best wishes of good work, of course that his experience and his authority will contribute to the growth of L’Edicola and the development of the new editorial project. A sincere thanks goes to the outgoing director Lorena Saracino for the precious work done and for the contribution given in these months to the growth of the newspaper.

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The Department for Equal Opportunities has arranged the extraordinary transfer to the Inps of an additional 2.9 million destined for the Freedom Revenue for the year 2026. The new resources will allow to accept the applications which have already been admissible which, in some regions, had not found financial coverage in the context of the previously allocated availability. The measure was adopted as a result of the audits carried out by the Department for Equal Opportunities, on the basis of the data transmitted by the Inps on the trend of the measure, which, in some territories, highlighted a requirement higher than the available resources. The Institute announces that it has updated the regional financial availability within the freedom audit management procedure, following the transfer of additional resources provided by the Decree of 5 August 2026.

For 2026, the total resources allocated to the measure were initially quantified in 16,5 million. The new extraordinary resources strengthen the intervention and allow to expand the audience of the beneficiaries, guaranteeing the financing of the eligible applications remaining waiting for lack of funds. Inps points out that additional resources will be used primarily for the acceptance of applications for the year 2026 without financial coverage. Any regional resources already transferred and not yet used will meet the acceptance of the applications only after the exhaustion of the available state funds. The provisions already laid down in circular Inps No 44 of 9 April 2026 on access requirements, procedures for submitting applications, instructors and provision of benefit remain firm.
