The Re.Tes. Programme (Re-engineering of treasury procedures) has been operational since 1 January 2025, and involves a modern IT architecture designed to simplify and innovate State Treasury procedures. The project marks a significant shift towards the adoption of advanced technologies to manage public collections and payments.
The Re.Tes. Programme was put in place thanks to a strategic collaboration between Banca d'Italia, the State General Accounting Department (RGS) and the Court of Auditors, with the aim of streamlining administrative procedures and innovating treasury operations, aligning them with the evolution of payment systems and instruments.
A new regulatory framework
Decree Law 73/2022, converted into Law 122/2022, introduced significant reforms that restructured the Treasury Service's organization. The main changes include:
- merging the provincial and central treasury departments into a single entity, the State Treasury;
- a regulatory review that gives priority to the use of digital payment instruments and thoroughly renews operations.
Changes introduced by the Programme
The Re.Tes. Programme rests on three key pillars:
- Process optimization: introduction of digital and innovative payment instruments to simplify operations.
- Adoption of a single communication protocol: a standardized system to improve interoperability and efficiency between the Treasury and general government bodies.
- Improved use of data: a broader and more detailed level of reporting to support monitoring public finances and resource management.
The Programme involved a wide range of actors, including:
- Central government departments and agencies including local offices and branches. Local authorities, tax agencies, the Italian National Institute for Social Security (INPS), Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA (CDP), Poste Italiane SpA and the entire banking system.
Thanks to the Re.Tes. Programme, the State Treasury is evolving into a more efficient and technologically advanced system that can answer the needs of a modern and digitalized administration.
