the economic recovery is underway and manufacturing it is the locomotive. Confindustria Emilia-Romagna puts aside the caution, and in the face of data on the labor market and those on exports released by ISTAT in recent days, confirmed what until now had only glimpsed from the economic analysis. The unemployment rate along the Via Emilia is in fact fell to 7.7%, 0.6 points less than in 2014 (was 8.3%) and well below the 11.9% average in the country . An improvement tied everything to the towing industry, which recorded more than 18 thousand employees in the past year in the region (fell instead places both in construction and in the service sector). And with an employment rate to 66.7% (0.4 points more than in 2014) Via Emilia is the square on the second step in the national rankings, surpassed only by the Trentino-Alto Adige (the Italian average is 56.3).

“These are encouraging figures – said the president of Confindustria Emilia-Romagna, Maurizio Marchesini – confirming the positive signs of economic developments and reaffirm the central role of manufacturing as the engine of growth. But they are only the first fruit of a not yet consolidated and widespread process, because it reflects the overall uncertainty of the global economic situation and geopolitical tensions: factors that could greatly affect our exports in 2016, a pillar of the regional economy. ” The strong acceleration in exports in the fourth quarter (+ 6.1%) leading the figure for annual growth to 4.4% (+3.8 in Italy) optimism between Piacenza and Rimini, territory that has made from the control room, along with Veneto and Piedmont, in international markets.

And the fact that 97.7% of the 55.3 billion of exports in 2015 in Emilia-Romagna arrivals from manufacturing back to the center of Bologna discussions on the role of the “made in” and serial industrial policies. The recovery and employment are closely linked, as well stressed the Pact for the work signed last summer to Bologna from all the economic and social forces of the region, with the goal of returning by 2020 to 2.9% of unemployment pre-crisis physiological. “We must, however, be aware that a real shot to the economy and investment – concluded Marchesini – can only come from deep reforms such as fiscal and taxation, legislative and administrative simplification, those institutional and justice, issues still too conditioned by a widespread anti-business. “
