Bonomi (Confindustria): investments are needed and not subsidies
“Regarding the method, the government has finally understood that the subsidies should not be administered by public bodies that are already struggling with their ordinary tasks. Regarding the merits, it is evident that, although the resources allocated were a few billion, they are not enough to avoid chain closures and failures. We needed immediate and substantial tax rebates, not extended month-to-month payments. Thus the president of Confindustria Carlo Bonomi in an interview in Qn, in which he points out that “investments and not subsidies” are needed. “Many months have been lost without implementing what Confindustria was asking for since April – says Bonomi – to have data broken down by micro-territories, to investigate outbreaks to improve local diagnoses and to track down those infected, proceeding with swabs in companies, strengthening local transport ”. And «the result has been seen in recent weeks. With continuous rebounds between the government and the regions. All of this fuels mistrust, even street protests. And it exacerbates the loss of GDP in 2020, with obvious risks of continuing until 2021 ».
“For weeks – observes Bonomi – the use of the Recovery Fund has disappeared from the radar, the government overwhelmed by the emergency no longer talks about it. The 2021 budget bill remains geared towards emergency measures only. We are very worried. Recovery fund resources must have a concentrated destination. We need a permanent strengthening of all forms of incentives for private investment ”, from Industry 4.0 to incentives for technology transfer,“ the future is built with investments, not with subsidies ”. To take full advantage of the maxi-financial endowment available to Italy, we first need a drastic reform of the procedures of the Public Administration. “No other advanced country has adopted a lock on layoffs – he warns – new social safety nets based on employability are needed, with training and relocation as soon as possible. That is why we also want to strengthen the relocation allowance in the contracts ”; then “from the income of citizenship, active labor policies must be taken, which are quite another thing”, with the proposal of “a system based on the accreditation of private employment agencies.” As for tax reform, “the essential Italian problem is the record tax wedge weighing on American companies. Therefore, an organic reform of the tax authorities cannot deal solely with the personal income tax. The government cannot make unilateral decisions on such a sensitive issue ”.
