“there are certainly” the most “signs, however, are too small from my point of view to really say that we are in the right direction to create new jobs and wealth in our country. Many of these signs are more due among other things to the capacity of the chemistry, and in particular the fine chemical “. He said the president of Confindustria, Giorgio Squinzi speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a conference in Milan Federchimica in response to a question on the progress of the economy. “The recovery in domestic consumption remains very very small – said Squinzi – is still not enough to say that we are out of the crisis.” “The government – he added Squinzi – must implement as quickly as possible all the political, institutional, bureaucratic and administrative. Only you can share them. ” When asked if the government is optimistic about the growth estimate for 2016 (+ 1.6%), Squinzi responded, “let’s see, let’s hope that is not optimistic.”

Telecom: Squinzi , we see that are the objectives of Vivendi

“It is difficult to make judgments, we need to see what are the goals you want to achieve and what the alternatives are,” said the president of Confindustria reporters in response to a question on the relationship between Vivendi and Telecom. According Squinzi the aims of Vincent Bolloré in the Peninsula, however, it should not be seen in view of a race to conquer the strategic Italian companies. “Many Italian entrepreneurs are active on world markets and grow – said Squinzi – think about what you did Campari with the acquisition of last week in France. So there is no clear line. “

Eni: Squinzi, does not come from chemical, is a strategic alliance
The operation of Versalis” I do not think output from chemistry, but a strategic alliance, “said Squinzi, responding to a question on the sidelines of Federchimica. “From what we know – he added – is an alliance to grow and stabilize the great Italian petrochemical that at this time alone is too small to hold the global market. Think of the US where the giants Dow and DuPont are coming together to compete better. ”

Immigration: Squinzi, hard to say if it will bring development
The one immigration “is a very complicated problem. It is difficult to say at this stage whether migrants bring development “he added. “The migrants – he explained – is the big problem that Europe is facing and must maintain its cohesion at the highest possible level.” “I believe it, even as an entrepreneur – he added – and you have to think about creating job opportunities and growth within the countries from which migrants come.”

And on the appointment of his successor in Confindustria “I saw the programs of the candidates, but I’m out of this competition,” replied Squinzi regardless of race between the two candidates Alberto Vacchi and Vincenzo Boccia at the presidency of the association of industrialists.

Federchimica, production + 1% in 2015, shooting hard
“in 2015 the chemical industry in Italy has seen a recovery in production: + 1%, about 52 billion euro,” but “the shooting hard to strengthen its position in an international scenario that is full of risks and dominated by uncertainty, “said the chairman of Federchimica, Cesare Puccioni, in the report to 2016, on the occasion of the centenary of the association .. With its 2,740 companies, the chemical industry employs 109,000 workers. From the data, it appears that in 2015 there was the “first of the internal market waking signal (+ 1.3% in volume)” and that the sector has faced the crisis phase containing ‘losses in terms of both value added (-5% over 2007 compared with 13% of the manufacturing industry average), both of employees (-11% vs. -20%). ” It turns out then that “the proportion of bad debts on bank loans (5.8%) is the lowest in the industrial landscape” and that exports, ” marks a growth of 4% in constant expansion since 2010 »in 2015 value”. “We were first in the great challenge of the future, sustainable development – continued Puccioni -. We anticipated choices then adopted by the entire industry. It is time to look to the chemical industry as the future. ” For 2016 are planned: production growth of 1.4%, + 3% growth in exports and a strengthening of domestic demand, up 1.5%.
