What will be the effects of differentiated autonomy? “From an economic and commercial point of view, I believe that some opportunities that exist could be lost if we fragment our activities”.
This was stated by the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Siena and Arezzo Massimo Guasconi on the sidelines of the twenty-second economic day. “The more integrated our system is, the more competitive we are – he continued -. Let’s think about fashion: how can we address large international markets with individual local systems? Competing with even smaller structures than now will not bring benefits to the economy”,
2023, for Guasconi, “was an exceptional year for Sienese exports which grew by over 40% compared to 2022. For this indicator, last year we were the third province with the highest absolute value in Italy ”.
“What influences the result – he added – is pharmaceuticals which account for half of exports”. And he continues: “In the first three months of 2024 we also recorded a good performance in the agri-food sector, with +12% compared to a year ago. The negative phase linked to the climatic events that affected production in 2023 therefore seems to have been overcome”
How much does the international geopolitical crisis weigh? “We are still affected by the rates and the high cost of money which affects our investments and which cause the Italian system to lose competitiveness”, says the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Siena and Arezzo Massimo Guasconi on the sidelines of the economic day.
