(Finance) – “Against the dear-energy we need a price cap to stem speculative phenomena, but apparently this situation is not considered a priority. Germany has allocated 100 billion euros to help businesses in recent months, France has put a ceiling on the price of electricity by allocating it to companies, Spain and Portugal have moved on their own and have set a cap on the price of gas. Italy, on the other hand, has only allocated five billion euros. Companies have compressed their margins to try to maintain final consumption, but it is clear that this situation can no longer be postponed “. This is the alarm raised by the vice president of Confindustria Giovanni Baroni, national president of Small Industry, in an interview with Mariù Adamo’s microphones for MattinaLive, broadcast on Canale 8.
“The numbers speak for themselves: one company out of two – says Baroni – will have negative effects linked to the conflict, assuming that the conflict in Ukraine ended by July. If, on the other hand, the war continues for a long time, the percentage will increase and involve all companies. Still unresolved issues must be addressed. The current situation is the result of a lack of industrial vision and the fact that we are totally dependent on abroad. And then we need cyclical interventions, because the bills have to be paid “.
