Public nominations, 272 seats up for grabs

By the end of December, 272 positions of presidents, CEOs and directors in 62 public companies expire, including those of the Eni, Leonardo, Poste Italiane, Enel, Ferrovie dello Stato groups, but many will be renewed only in the budget meetings next spring

December: it's time for appointments to expire. And therefore of renewals. A real whirlwind, the one that involves public companies, participated by the Ministry of Economy. In total 272 between presidents, CEOs or simple advisers, scattered in a kaleidoscope of 62 companies.

Appointments that expire on This month's 31, but whose renewal (or confirmation, depending on the various statutes) will take place by 30th April of 2019 or the 30nd June, coinciding with the meeting to approve the budget. In a climate that – a detail not to be underestimated – will certainly be influenced by the concurrent vote in May for the European elections.

But obviously the movement for expiring seats has already begun. Only for companies directly owned by the ministry led by Giovanni Tria we are faced with 31 assignments expiring between Invitalia, Arexpo, Cones services, Mefop (which deals with the development of pension fund markets), Sogin, Never e Study Development.

The lion's share is shared though Eni (whose controlling shareholders include the Ministry of Economy and Cdp) e Leonardo (30% Ministry of Economy): 46 assignments expiring for the first, 47 for the second, divided respectively into 11 investee companies and 8.

Turns of armchairs (or any confirmations) of all respect even at home Post, Railways ed Enel: 28 in the first case, due to the expiry of the mandate on 31 December in Bancoposta, parcel logistics consortium, Europe real estate management, indabox, postel, postelmobile, savings holding. Twenty-six assignments are due to expire both in the variegated world of the railways and in that of Enel. Moreover, Ferrovie has already been at the center of changes this summer, when - on input from the Government - it was prepared the forfeiture of the board of directors. In July, the shareholders' meeting appointed the new chairman and then the new board of directors appointed the chief executive officer. Now the renewal concerns some conglomerates. Fer credit financial services, southeastern railways, large real estate stations, Italfer, Logistics

And then, just to complete the panorama, the deadlines in the subsidiaries of Invitalia (8) Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (well 35), Cones services (3) EUR (5) Monte dei Paschi di Siena (10)

All positions – therefore a total of 272 – which expire at the end of the year. Final question: how much do they cost us?
