Intesa Sanpaolo forecasts Italy's 2026 gross government bond issuance at EUR 545bn, with total net issuance of EUR 100bn, driven primarily by BTP issuance of EUR 253bn. The report provides a detailed monthly calendar and highlights a heavy redemption schedule (EUR 445bn) and continued reliance on the domestic market, as foreign holdings increased but the Bank of Italy continued to reduce holdings.

Key arguments
- Gross issuance is forecast at EUR 545bn, up from EUR 547bn in 2025, reflecting higher redemptions and a continued net issuance of EUR 100bn.
- BTP issuance remains the core of funding, with 7-year and 10-year maturities as the main benchmarks.
- Net issuance of CCTeu is expected to be sharply positive (+EUR 20bn), supporting liquidity in the floating-rate segment.
- The state sector borrowing requirement for 2026 is forecast at EUR 135bn, financed through net issuance and treasury balance drawdowns.
- Foreign holdings of Italian government bonds increased by EUR 52bn in the year to May 2026, while Bank of Italy holdings declined by EUR 28bn.

Main risks
- Higher-than-expected redemptions or a wider deficit could force larger gross issuance, pressuring BTP yields.
- A reduction in Bank of Italy holdings of Italian government bonds (EUR -28bn in 2026) may reduce a key source of demand, potentially affecting market stability.
- Reliance on foreign investors (now holding 33% of the stock) exposes Italy to shifts in global risk appetite.
- A weaker-than-expected macroeconomic outlook could widen the fiscal deficit and increase funding needs beyond forecasts.
