From now until the end of 2025, a total of €425 billion in government bonds will mature, while by the end of the legislature, maturing bonds—BOTs, BTPs, and CCTs—amount to a total of €912 billion. Nearly €1 trillion in obligations issued by the Treasury are weighing on the current government led by Giorgia Meloni. The Ministry of Economy's bond issuance program is in line with historical averages but intersects with some international challenges, including the uncertain backdrop of wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and unstable recovery prospects both domestically and globally. According to a report by the Unimpresa Study Center, the Italian Republic's public bonds will mature for a total of 1,905.2 billion over the next ten years, accounting for 75.8% of the total of 2,512.5 billion, while the subsequent, much broader period, from 2034 to 2072, has maturities for 607.3 billion, accounting for 24.2% of the total.
