The Triveneto area, with Friuli Venezia Giulia, is one of the great engines of the country’s economic growth. The last months of 2020 showed a resumption of growth in these territories. Now the gaze is turned to the future and the hope is for a full speed restart. The premises are not lacking and the mobility, which historically characterizes these areas bordering important European countries, will contribute to the results. “The Triveneto is certainly playing a leading role in the country, thanks to its high competitiveness on foreign markets – explains Francesca Nieddu, Veneto Est and Friuli Venezia Giulia Intesa Sanpaolo regional director -. Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia lead the Italian ranking for export propensity. The significant incentives put in place have then restarted the construction chain. The vaccination campaign is creating the conditions for a very wide acceleration of activities in the summer period, when the effect of the reopening will be maximum ».
The turning point is also underway for the economy of the Triveneto. «The opening to European tourists has already given positive signs on bookings, with a process of gradual recovery of services that will strengthen the recovery of the industry in the rest of the year – says Francesca Nieddu -. In this way, investment decisions and consumption will be able to unblock, with positive effects on the demand addressed to the specialization sectors of the Triveneto ».
Intesa Sanpaolo is also involved in the ongoing challenge, which has always supported local companies. “Now is the time to take a step further to accelerate the relaunch together, with a commitment to a sustainable future from an economic, environmental and social point of view – says Francesca Nieddu -. We have launched Motor Italia which provides new solutions for extending the duration of existing loans up to 15 years, interventions to prepare SMEs for the relaunch and recovery of competitiveness through investments for the digital and sustainable transition, in line with the future objectives of the PNRR “.
At the national level, a ceiling of 50 billion euros is envisaged, of which 10 billion of new credit for Triveneto companies. “Our Supply Chain Program also continues, which enhances the link between the head of the supply chain and its strategic suppliers from a credit point of view and we promote investments oriented towards ESG sustainability criteria through our s-loans which provide for dedicated conditions” concludes the expert.
