Italian budget law makes minor pension changes, leaving Fornero reform mostly intact

The new Italian budget law makes minimal changes to pension regulations, leaving the Fornero reform largely intact. The budget includes a three-month increase in retirement age requirements spread over 2027 and 2028, and a small increase to minimum pensions. Measures like Quota 103 and "Opzione Donna" will expire. These expiring measures were not significant departures from the Fornero reform, as they often involved less favorable pension recalculations and specific eligibility criteria.
