Cassa Depositi e Prestiti has completed operations worth almost 10 billion for the sustainable development of the Regions' territory.
These are the data presented by Cdp during the discussion tables organized with over 100 representatives of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces and the regional financial institutions at the Cassa headquarters.
The objective of this event, which has already been held in 2022, is to develop solutions that allow the resources made available to public bodies, businesses and infrastructures to be managed in the most efficient manner.
"Supporting the development of the territory is our priority", declared the CEO of CDP, Dario Scannapieco.
"The Regions and the ecosystem that surrounds them have a strategic role to overcome the challenges and contribute to the development of the territories. Cassa must not be a financing entity that sits in front of you, but that sits next to you to address the problems and identify solutions", he told the representatives of the territories.
In particular, 2.5 billion have been directly mobilized in three years in favor of Regions, Autonomous Provinces, companies owned by the Regions and programs dedicated to businesses in collaboration with the regional finance companies, of which one billion has been allocated to the development of infrastructures in particular in the sectors of transport networks, sustainable mobility and renewable energy.
Added to these are the refinancing operations of previous debts of the Regions with the Ministry of Economy and Finance which, between 2021 and 2022, reached a total amount of 7.3 billion, generating savings of 1.8 billion .
Furthermore, in synergy with the regional financial institutions, CDP has promoted innovative financial support instruments, such as Basket Bonds, aimed at facilitating access to credit for local small and medium-sized enterprises: since their launch, the Regional Basket Bonds, which benefit from public, led to the financing of 123 SMEs, activating resources totaling over 335 million euros.
The day also saw the participation of the president, Giovanni Gorno Tempini, for Cassa Depositi e Presiti.
Paolo Calvano also took part in the event, as representative of the Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces on the Board of Directors of CDP, who underlined the importance of this "public-public partnership for innovative investment policies".
The President, Michele Vietti, spoke for the National Association of Regional Financial Companies (Anfir).
The meeting was an opportunity to take stock of the results resulting from the synergies between Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, local institutions and local economic forces.
In detail, four separate working groups were held, dedicated to the initiatives that can be implemented for the development of the territory, of the entrepreneurial fabric,
of real estate and the national health system.
The various meetings were attended by representatives of the Regions, in particular councillors, general directors and heads of cabinet, as well as representatives of ANFIR and other territorial stakeholders.
The event will be followed by in-depth sectoral and local webinars.
