12 October 2020 "The data on GDP are from a war situation and we are back to the per capita GDP of 26 years ago. But there is a rebound thanks to the manufacturing industry. '' This was stated by the president of Confindustria, Carlo Bonomi, at the assembly in Assolombarda. "It is a time of great difficulty, but also of great opportunity and redemption, we can build a new country.

Nobody is saved alone - he says - and we fight because we are aware of being a community, we fight for the national community. 



"" The data we presented on Saturday from the Confindustria Study Center showed a strong rebound in the third quarter, even if the disaggregated figure shows manufacturing that is doing very well and sectors that are suffering a lot.

In the fourth quarter, however, this climate of uncertainty due to the resurgence of the pandemic does not give us hope.

For us it will not be such a positive fourth quarter "underlines Bonomi.



Last week the Mef" replied to Confindustria's observations on the future estimate of public investments.

But the fact remains that the Mef writes that data in the Nadef, reaching that 3% of the national recovery and resilience plan can only be done thanks to the additional investments of the Recovery Fund "said the president of Confindustria:" we would have expected something else, we would have expected public investments to arrive before the Recovery Fund ".



" The Recovery Fund funds must be returned by 2058 - Bonomi recalls - The last installment of this loan will be made to pay to young people who will be born in 20 years.

It is the unborn young people who are lending money to us for their future.

We therefore have a historic responsibility, I feel it and everyone should feel it ".



" It is not money that changes the country, this is the time to make reforms, to solve the structural problems that have blocked growth for years - he continued - This is an opportunity to reform that normal country, which we all ask for.

We cannot ask for an exception every time, special powers: we want a normal country that works. " 



Bonomi then underlined:" There is a great phase of contractual renewals at the basis of the society we want to live in the future.

A battle that we are all waging, not to give less money.

We want to make contracts, give money but in a sustainable and intelligent way ". And he warns:" It is not the time for Italy to go on strike, contracts must be renewed, money in our pockets must be put in a sustainable way: if we are losing the 10% of average GDP it is obvious that the increases cannot take place on an independent variable ".



" We are the first to realize that when the redundancy block should cease, we could face worrying numbers.

We cannot think of leaving these people without an income, but we must look to the future and we must - remarked the President of Confindustria - We presented in July a reform of the social safety nets.

I believe that at least one answer is due.

Not so much to Confindustria but in the interest of the workers ".



Finally, the President of Confindustria recalls:" I am told: 'Bonomi criticizes too much, raving'.

It makes me smile: we entrepreneurs do not have the spirit of controversy so much for antagonism. "" We - he continued - fight for the international community.

And let's not forget that the history of Italy when it comes out of the war is set up by us, with effort, a lot of duty and honesty ".
