A work of studies and research for an even more competitive North East
For the fourth year, the activities are accompanied by socio-economic surveys on the evolution and prospects of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto, compared with the rest of the country. The report is edited by Daniele Marini, Vice President of BCC Pordenonese e Monsile and professor at the University of Padua. For Marini, to regain that competitiveness that had characterized the North-East regions in the last two decades of the last century, it becomes necessary to invest economically and organizationally in digital innovations and in the use of AI is a necessary factor, but it will not be sufficient, if it is not accompanied by a formative and educational commitment towards people and communities.
The key to the future: commitment and strategies for society and communities
Undoubtedly, the role of a bank of the future will have to leverage social commitment to build greater awareness to increase trust. By 2030, European citizens will be among the oldest populations in the world and birth rates will be low. put the sustainability of welfare systems, while technological progress, globalization and the growth of the service sector have led to a transformation of the world of work, which is however reflected in the growth of the sharing economy and its more flexible forms of employment. Hence the commitment of the BCC that in 2024, reveals to us Mauro Verona, coordinator of the bank's Social Commission. In 2024, 972.490 euros were disbursed from the charity fund, and 307.048 euros in sponsorship, for a commitment in the territory that exceeds 1,05 million euros in direct form. Support was given to 731 interventions in many areas of interest, collaborating with institutions, associations, third sector bodies, cooperatives and the world of volunteering for projects that involved art, culture and music, religious institutions, education, environment and health, sports and aggregation, economic development and promotion of the territory.
Greater territorial presence is the necessary choice to assist older people
Banking desertification is advancing in our regions- observes Alessandro Darsiè, Deputy Director of BCC Pordenonese and Monsile. One municipality in three in the FVG region does not have a bank branch and in five years there have been over 120 fewer branches in FVG. In Veneto, 2024 bank branches were closed in 64 alone, in addition to the 108 closed in the previous three years. It will therefore be necessary to be close to older segments of the population who are not very familiar with the use of new technologies and for whom the closure of so many bank branches causes no small amount of concern.
