Confindustria Chief Calls for Powerful Budget, Three-Year Strategy and Structural Energy Price Cuts

Emanuele Orsini says short-term policies with high energy costs push companies to relocate.

Overview

  • Speaking in Capri at the 40th Young Entrepreneurs conference, Orsini urged a multi-year industrial roadmap to give businesses planning certainty.
  • He called for a structural reduction in energy prices and said he expects a government intervention on energy within days.
  • Orsini warned that bureaucracy and expensive power are driving firms and talent abroad, contrasting Italy’s yearly fixes with Germany’s longer horizons.
  • He criticized the frequency of strikes as harmful to productivity and families, urging a broader sense of responsibility.
  • He said Confindustria and unions align on energy, investments and closing contracts but diverge elsewhere, condemned protest violence, and argued policy should prioritize industry over tax or pension tweaks in a swipe at Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti.
