Varese seeks the way to relaunch

Initiatives in favor of parenting. A feasible and non-ideological ecological transition. The relaunch of Malpensa. The enhancement of technical and scientific education, in parallel with the push on the digital transition. Greater attention to the situation in the northern area of ​​the province.

These are the key points of the proposal launched by the President of the Union of Industrialists of the Province of Varese (Univa), Roberto Grassi, to build a local development policy, at both regional and provincial level, which aims to make Varesotto an area more modern and attractive for investments and the best human resources.

Press conference at the beginning of the year which first of all highlights the economic situation of the area. If the fourth quarter ended with 62.2% of companies reporting growing production levels, the prospects are now different. «The good data of 2021 – explains Grassi – risk being the past if we do not intervene promptly. Today we live in a world that has completely changed. The increases in the prices of raw materials and especially energy are holding back the engine of the recovery that we were able to initiate. We still do not see this in the numbers of local surveys, but the national alarm bells of the Confindustria Study Center (I am referring to the decline in industrial production by -1.3% in January) are being heard at the level of sentiment and reports also in the companies in the province of Varese “.

Energy costs – he explains – are putting the local businesses in crisis. In some sectors, manufacturing is becoming uneconomical and companies from entire sectors risk stopping, despite having a full order book.

«Today we pay dearly for the absence of an industrial energy policy and the infamous choices of the past years and decades. The trend must be reversed immediately with a mix of economic and structural interventions. Starting with the abatement of the parafiscal and tax components for businesses, like what is happening in Germany. Increase national gas production by allocating it to companies at lower than market costs, as is happening in France. To increase the availability of energy sources to industry also through an increase in the capacity deriving from renewable sources, whose production costs are not increasing, and which could therefore be guaranteed at prices lower than those of the market controlled by gas ».
