We foresee an increase in motorway tariffs, around “1.5%, we really talk very little, we are discussing it at this stage with the ministry. It would be foreseen in the economic and financial plan starting from the end of June-July of this year. I remember that our rates remained blocked starting from 2018 ». This was stated by Roberto Tomasi, CEO of Autostrade per l’Italia, on the sidelines of an event at the headquarters of the Tuscany Region in Florence.
The CEO also spoke of the increases in energy and raw materials, calling it «a serious problem. In these first six months we have had a significant increase in terms of material costs which vary from 20 to 30% on average, then there are price items with increases even higher than this ». Roberto Tomasi added: «But it cannot be a mechanism by which we block our investments. Indeed, we must continue to invest in the hope that there is also a speculative element in this phase that can somehow return, we cannot but think about it “.
