Lazio: the general accounts for the 2025 financial year have been approved, showing a surplus of 322 million
The regional audit office of the Court of Auditors has certified compliance with all public finance requirements and the achievement of the planned objectives
The Lazio Regional Audit Office of the Court of Auditors has approved the general accounts for the 2025 financial year. The Court has certified compliance with all public finance requirements and the achievement of the planned objectives. This marks a break from the deficits that have characterised regional finances for many years, as highlighted by the Attorney General, Paolo Luigi Rebecchi, in his closing statement.
The results, certified by the Court of Auditors, show that all budget indicators are positive, with a primary surplus of over 320 million; these funds can be used for new investments across the regions and to reduce the tax burden.
“Let’s finally break free from the quicksand and look ahead without fear – commented the President of the Lazio Region, Francesco Rocca – the Court of Auditors has approved the Lazio Region’s accounts, for the first time in many years without any reservations or findings. Having our accounts in order means we can continue to plan investments, strengthening services for citizens and channelling even more resources into the region.”
The financial statements therefore close with a available surplus of 321.8 million euros, whilst the operating profit rises to 3.849 billion euros, an increase of 561.3 million compared with 2024. The available portion of the operating profit has also returned to positive territory; net of the amount set aside (€2,724,525,860.89), the restricted portion (€802,780,366.57) and the portion allocated to investments (equal to zero), amounts to €321,775,714.21. The profit for the period amounts to 1.094 billion euros, the budget balance to 856 million and the overall balance to 463.8 million, all of which are positive.
“These results now enable the Lazio Region to have over 300 million euros at its disposal to be allocated to new investments and to reducing the tax burden. This demonstrates that rigorous and responsible management of public resources is not a constraint, but rather a means of unlocking the capacity to take action for the benefit of citizens, businesses and the region’s development. This approach also strengthens the Lazio Region’s reputation and credibility both in Italia and internationally, making it an increasingly solid and reliable partner,” emphasised Roberta Angelilli, Vice-President of the Lazio Region.
