Great attention was given to the real economy and the tools to adoptin support of it, as confirmed in the speech byMassimo Doris, CEO of Banca Mediolanum: “The PIR individual saving plansare essential implements for strengthening our system, especially in favour of SMEs, and should be seen for what they are ?abeneficialmeansof inputting capital. Illiquid tools have been createdas well,inthe formof alternative PIRs, and these may be used also in the case of unlisted companies. This is great innovationthat, alongside the classicPIRs, can bring a positive thrust, helping Italy’s industries and the nation’s recovery.”Alessio Rossitoo believes that finance and business need to be systematisedto generate new and durable interconnections between the nation’s financial and manufacturingfabric. For theChairman ofConfindustriaYoung Entrepreneurs,“Existing manufacturingexcellences, as well as those striving to become such, must necessarily aim to captureforeign markets, as it is no longer possible to haltat the internal Italian market. Rising tothis challenge means providing SMEs with new resources by drawing on private equity, with the goal of strengthening capitalisation and digitalisation across the board.”Instead, the second session placed strategies and incentivesfor a swift and effective recovery at the centre of thedebate. The speakerson this matter were: Walter Anedda, Chairman ofCassa dei Commercialisti;Giuseppe Castagna, CEO of Banco BPM;Innocenzo Cipolletta, Chairman of AIFI;Ivonne Forno, General Manager ofFondo Pensione Laborfonds; andPiergiuseppe Mazzoldi, Chairman of Fondo Pensione BCC. The message fromGiuseppe Castagna, CEO of Banco BPM, is unquestionably an optimistic one. He explained:“We have a clear and functional agenda that can get our country started again, but we should remember that thisis thelast exam we have been called to face so that we canreconnect to this new Europe. I hope thatthis opportunity will not bewastedand that national policy will finally forge the much needed bridgebetween public and private ?the lack of which has been distinctly perceivedin the past.”For Innocenzo Cipolletta, Chairman ofAIFI,“The private equity funds for growth must also attract capital fromabroad, with the goal of encouraging an input of capital for companies.”
