In the area hit by the earthquake "a little more than 1% of our GDP is produced and we risk losing a few fractions of a point of GDP just because of the earthquake". To sound the alarm is the president of Confindustria, Giorgio Squinzi, on the sidelines of the seminar of the Study Center in viale dell'Astronomia.
“The area hit by the earthquake – said Squinzi – is a very small area. We are talking about a circle of about 20-25 kilometers around the epicenters". Anyway "I think it is close enough to reality" to hypothesize "a production stop of at least 4-6 months".
