Core conclusion · Tlines extraction

Intesa Sanpaolo forecasts Italy's gross government issuance at EUR 546bn in 2026, up from an estimated EUR 547bn in 2025, with net issuance projected at EUR 101bn versus EUR 139bn in 2025. Redemptions are seen at EUR 445bn, leaving a gross-to-redemption gap. BTP gross issuance is forecast at EUR 254bn and net at EUR 70bn; BOT gross at EUR 184bn with net of EUR 2bn. The state sector borrowing requirement is forecast at EUR 138bn. The plan assumes full BOT rollover; foreign investors, holding 34% of the stock as of 30 June 2026, increased holdings by EUR 86bn year-to-date, a trend the forecast does not explicitly underwrite.

Key arguments

Gross issuance of EUR 546bn in 2026 is broadly unchanged from EUR 547bn in 2025, while net issuance falls to EUR 101bn from EUR 139bn as redemptions rise to EUR 445bn.
BTP gross and net issuance are forecast at EUR 254bn and EUR 70bn respectively, with the 7-year sector contributing EUR 73bn gross, the largest maturity bucket.
BOT issuance is assumed to be fully rolled over at EUR 184bn gross, but net BOT issuance is only EUR 2bn, implying limited short-term bill supply expansion.
Foreign investors held 34% of Italian government bonds at 30 June 2026 and increased holdings by EUR 86bn year-to-date, a pace not explicitly embedded in the issuance forecast.

Key numbers

2026 gross issuance: EUR 546bn
2026 net issuance: EUR 101bn
2026 redemptions: EUR 445bn
2026 BTP net issuance: EUR 70bn
2026 state sector borrowing requirement: EUR 138bn

Main risks

The forecast assumes full BOT rollover. A shortfall in bill demand or higher redemption could require additional BTP issuance or drawdown of Treasury deposits.
Foreign investor demand, which added EUR 86bn year-to-date, may not be sustained; a reversal would raise domestic absorption needs and potentially yields.
Italy's fiscal balance is projected at -3.0% of GDP for 2026, above the 3% ceiling; slippage could boost the borrowing requirement and issuance beyond forecast.
