Prete (Unioncamere): "Energy crisis and inflation risk blocking the recovery"
“Despite the pandemic crisis, the Italian system has shown that it is healthy and capable of reacting. But the energy crisis and inflation risk blocking the recovery. The data tell us that the entrepreneurial fabric shows signs of tiredness and slows down the desire to do business of Italians". Commented the president of Unioncamere, Andrew Priest. “Enrolments in the third quarter, below 60 thousand for the first time – reports Prete – are the lowest in the last 20 years (for the same period). But the entrepreneurial fabric as a whole continues to hold and indeed, between July and September, the balance remains positive”.
