Good news on the revenue dispute. Sardinia, which owes approximately €1.7 billion to the state, will receive compensation of nearly €1.4 billion over four years . This was announced in a statement by Regional President Alessandra Todde. The agreement was formalized after discussions with Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti, along with Vice President and Budget Councilor Giuseppe Meloni .
Specifically, the Region will receive €850 million in compensation for incentive measures until 2024, distributed in targeted tranches: €400 million in 2025, €100 million annually from 2026 to 2028, and €150 million in 2029. This will be in addition to €170 million annually for each of the years 2025 and 2026 on a permanent basis .
To address the structural disadvantages of insularity, the State is allocating an additional €100 million annually for 2026 and 2027 , aimed at offsetting additional current expenditure costs. By April 30, 2026, the 2019 technical-political discussion will be resumed to quantify permanent costs, and by July 31, 2026, the criteria for co-financing under Chapter 1200 of the state budget will be defined, which will come into force in 2027.
To strengthen regional operational capacity, the authorization for fixed-term hiring is planned for a maximum value of €32 million over the three-year period 2026-2028 at the Region and the Forestas Agency, for the purposes of fire prevention, land monitoring, and civil defense , without impacting current spending constraints. Pending appeals against the State will be withdrawn within 20 days, with the claims waived and expenses reimbursed.
Furthermore, a derogation from the spending caps for hiring has been granted, involving an increase in hiring capacity to 125% until 2028 and to 100% from 2029. Finally, the Region will be able to implement the state regulation that allows it to hire staff on a regular basis, according to its financial sustainability and budget balance, while simultaneously adopting spending rationalization measures.
