However, we fear a slowdown in investments, and this is why Confindustria, also during the discussion of the budget law, pushed the government hard to stimulate them".
So the president Carlo Bonomi, on Radio 24, answering a question about the trend of the economy and a possible recession.
"We hope there are tools to support businesses aimed at investments. We must be obsessed with growth - he underlined - and we only do it if we are competitive".
