Spending reviews

Systematic integration of spending reviews in the budgetary processes of our country’s public bodies is among the structural reforms included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), as requested by the European Commission. Hence, they have become mandatory and have to be carried out in accordance with a specific phasing and timing schedule.

Spending reviews

Spending reviews are public policy assessments carried out by administrative working groups and resulting in a report with concrete and documented proposals for reforms, including their financial implications and their impact on the policy goals.
