(Finance) – “The scenario outlined in the OECD Economic Outlook confirms the projections published in February according to which Italy’s GDP should grow by 0.7% in 2024 and 1.2% in 2025. While on the one hand the weakness of economic activity expected in the short term is worrying, the data relating to the unemployment rate forecast at 7.4% in 2024 and 7.3% in 2025 is encouraging”. This was declared by the President of UN.I.COOP. Lucia Dello Russo, regarding OECD data on Italian GDP.
“As noted in the Economic Outlook, the rapid implementation of structural reforms within the public administration as well as the increase in public investments linked to the PNRR are essential to encourage stable growth”.
“One of the main obstacles cWhat undermines the sustainability of cooperatives is access to credit, often complicated due to poor capitalization and high interest rates. AND It is therefore necessary to strengthen subsidized financing instruments and introduce new ones, supporting the development of innovative or hybrid financial instruments oriented towards social impact. At the same time, it is a priority to focus on training to encourage the creation of stable and competent professional figures, starting from the green professions of the future. In this perspective, further resources are needed to support companies in the transition processes towards environmental, social, ethical and economic sustainability, and enable them to face the innovative challenges of the technological and digital transition”. he concludes Of the Russian.
