Bonomi: “Long-term challenges await us, we support reforms”

by admin

The National Recovery and Resilience Plan is a historic opportunity to carry out those reforms that the country has been waiting for for 25-30 years. Just as the fiscal delegation could be an opportunity to reduce the inequalities that characterize our system on young people, women and temporary workers. for the president of Confindustria, Carlo Bonomi, there is a lot to do and between lights and shadows he confirms, speaking at the “Feast of optimism” organized in Florence by the newspaper Il Foglio, that “long-term challenges await us and for this reason all we will have to support the government’s reform action ”. And when asked whether Bonomi still trusts Draghi, the president of Confindustria replies that he considers himself “very optimistic”, reiterating that “we have a historic opportunity to make reforms” and that there must be no “party flags , it is time to say that reforms are needed without hesitation or reticence ”.

Failure to cut the wedge

On the sidelines of the speech, Bonomi recalled that on the budget law the companies had made some targeted requests to the Government on the contribution tax wedge. “We have a series of categories that suffer a lot in crises in general, but this one in particular: young people, women and temporary jobs. We asked for an intervention on the tax wedge, contributory part, two-thirds in favor of the worker, one third in favor of companies, because we want to put more money in the pockets of Italians but with a universal tool “Requests that for the moment seem to have fallen in the void. «As it is conceived today – added Bonomi – at least from what we read, the intervention on the Irpef the greatest benefit will have a greater impact on the bands between 40-45 thousand euros of income. We have two million incompetents in Italy, would anyone like to give an answer to these people? I believe that this is the time to give an answer to young people, women and the incompetent ».

Acting on the wedge to be competitive

For Bonomi, the data must be analyzed. “Why has this country withstood the economic crisis of the pandemic?” Because the Italian manufacturing held. At the moment we have an increase in the cost of raw materials, assuming that we find them the resources to support the increase in the cost of energy, the only factor we can work on is that of the cost of labor which we know does not make us competitive. compared to all our European competitors. France and Germany in the first place. Intervening with a cut on the contribution wedge would be important: «it means making businesses competitive and setting the conditions to create more employment and therefore employment means income. I believe that we must work on employability and not on subsidies that are useless ».

Stop the rain interventions

No to rain interventions but in the medium term. “On the budget law, we asked the parties to understand that we are in a moment in which the challenges are long-term. Both health and economic interventions must be of a medium term, and not aim at electoral consensus in the short term. Either we understand that we have to implement a series of interventions, and the budget law is the first brick, or we will fail and we will make rainless interventions that are useless ». And now if we make a mistake, our children will pay. “We cannot afford to have medium-term political uncertainty” and, on the NRP, “if we make the right choices, we will build the country’s future for the next 30 years”.
