Italy is stagnating. This is the photograph taken by Carlo Sangalli, President of Confcommercio, during his speech to the General Assembly of the confederation. The number one Confcommecio has underlined as the country is facing “a recovery without enthusiasm and without intensity, a recovery that never jump the crevasse between stagnation and growth. A year ago we were talking about signs of recovery, forecasting that only in part of it is made. in these 12 months, in Italy, employment, consumption, production, trust, credit followed a fluctuating trend failing to give the recovery a change of pace. ” Change that to the president of the confederation, it is not confirmed either from the positive indicator of consumption (Icc), which posted a + 0.3% in April compared to March and + 1.0% trend.
to make matters worse, an international scenario equally divided. “Interest rates and exchange rates should push investment and exports, but they are not working,” Sangalli stressed, adding that the low prices of oil and other commodities should reward countries like Italy, which process and sell in foreign markets. This is combined with the dramatic crisis of migrants, the slowdown of the Chinese economy, recessions in some emerging countries and Brexit risk, all of which “bring into question the theorem that the crisis is only a bad memory.”
However, for the president of Confcommercio, all is not lost. Our country, in fact, although they still have a long way to go, certainly has the credentials to do better with the resumption passing by the measures implemented by the government, especially in the development of domestic consumption, it made a priority if you want to strengthen the ability to compete in international markets system-Italy. According Sangalli is on reforms and equity that you play the destiny: “Confcommercio wants to make its contribution to a more modern and more just country. We have long argued for the need and the urgency of institutional reform . “
in this regard, Sangalli said the government’s intention not to trigger the safeguard clauses in 2017 and then not to touch the VAT. According to the leader of Confcommercio, this is a fundamental duty: “shift the taxation on things, then increase the VAT, it is like throwing a boomerang. Because in the end we all pay the VAT.” The tax-related efforts should, however, include a more organic vision. The association is then returned to propose a tax reform, in particular Irpef, with few tax rates and the introduction of a “no tax area” equal for all workers, whether employees or self-employed.
“The tax department that works is fair, transparent, stable and did a few tributes,” said the member of Confcommercio, reiterating how the latter is in favor of a strong and courageous fight against tax evasion , avoidance and corruption, the proceeds of which must, however, be called into play to reduce the rates for the benefit of all. In fact, “the counterpart of a balanced tax is good public spending.”
The work on the state budget has been identified as one of the structural issues on which action is needed to stimulate growth effectively. In this regard, Sangalli called for the inclusion in the Constitution of a constraint to overall government expenditure, thus allowing a reduction in the peak phase of the expense and during recessions as tax reductions.
Small steps later, however, have been recognized at the Renzi government, deserving to have reported to the proper dignity the size of the growth within the Stability with “the recent confirmation of the Covenant recognized flexibilities, and not graciously granted by the European Commission to our fiscal policy “, flexibility that could give space to reduce the tax burden on families and businesses,” to this day at all compatible with a more modern and equitable country. “
Positive start of the reform of public administration, the commitment to reduce the bureaucratic burden on businesses and some of the measures contained in the Jobs Act, even if the assembly is convinced that “the matter of contracts should be left to the autonomy of the parties. In a contract, the two negotiating levels, national and company must be complementary, without, at all costs, to privilege one way, perhaps decided from above, giving up the heritage of ideas and joint commitment of the social partners. ”
Additional measures are also necessary visas as part of the work, for example in reference to the INPS Inail premiums and contributions to the cost of the service sector enterprises over 2 billion annually in more than they should. “the deficit positive of our industry management should allow lower contributions to companies that generate it. It should not finance other, “noted Sangalli. Finally, another important link is access to credit,” which today is not so much an issue of financial resources, as collateral and thus of trust, “he concluded President.
