ROME (ITALPRESS) – Promoting the competitiveness of the Country System, stimulating its economic security and strategic autonomy, strengthening its social and territorial cohesion and supporting the path towards a “Just Transition”: these are the priorities defined in the new Strategic Plan 2025-2027 of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), approved today by the Board of Directors chaired by Giovanni Gorno Tempini, on the proposal of CEO and General Manager, Dario Scannapieco. If CDP’s previous Plan 2022-2024 had generated a significant positive impact in the country, with a contribution to GDP of about 1.6 percent and an average of 410,000 annual jobs created or maintained over the same period, over the next three years CDP will further increase its commitment to business infrastructure and public administration, with total committed resources of €81 billion (up 24% from the 2022-2024 Plan’s target of €65 billion), capable of activating investments of around €170 billion (up 32% from the previous Plan’s target of €128 billion) also thanks to the attraction of third-party capital.”The new Plan will strengthen our action as a driver for Italy’s development, with a significant impact at the economic, social and environmental levels. It is a complex and challenging program for present and future operations, with a look beyond the medium term,” stressed CDP Chairman Giovanni Gorno Tempini. For CEO Dario Scannapieco, “with the new Strategic Plan, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti lays a solid foundation to play a crucial role as a platform of finance and expertise to support the country’s growth. Our action will expand to new areas of intervention with additional instruments and initiatives capable of responding to the upcoming challenges facing households, businesses, and central and local public administrations. “In detail, more than 70 billion euros will be allocated to Business activities: of these, about 9 billion will support the country’s infrastructure development and about 11 billion will benefit the Public Administration, through financing and management activities of public resources. As far as Business is concerned, the target is set at 52 billion in volume, being able to leverage, starting with this Plan, synergies with Simest, the CDP Group company that supports the growth of Italian companies worldwide. In the Equity sector, an investment program of about 4 billion is planned to support portfolio companies and carry out new operations in strategic companies and funds. On the Real Assets front, about 1 billion will be committed to the redevelopment of assets in the portfolio, including for urban regeneration operations, support for the tourism sector and, in collaboration with banking foundations, to expand the offer on the social housing front, with the debut of the new “Service Housing” segment in favor of workers in the private sector and essential public services. On the International Cooperation front, through the use of approx. 5 billion euros in resources in close collaboration with the Italian Cooperation System, financing and technical assistance activities will be further strengthened, with a focus especially on Africa and in line with the country’s commitments, thanks also to the full activation of available sources and tools. All this will translate, also thanks to a greater contribution from Advisory activities, into sustained investment over the next three years of approx. 170 billion euros.
