PALERMO (ITALPRESS) – AIOP Sicilia applauds the proposed extension of a mini-Decontribution South, contained in the amendments to the national rule and the incentives provided for the single SEZ, considering them fundamental measures for the revival of the economy in the South and for the strengthening of the Sicilian production system. “The Decontribution South was and is a fundamental measure to boost economic growth in the South, says Barbara Cittadini, president of AIOP Sicilia. It is a choice that strengthens the productive fabric of companies operating in the South and helps bridge the economic gap with the rest of the country. The reduction in labor costs, in fact, encourages new hires, especially of young people, and allows companies to invest with greater confidence in the future. “According to available data, the Decontribuzione Sud has involved more than 500,000 companies and generated total savings of about 5 billion euros in 2023, allowing it to support thousands of jobs and increase youth employment in the regions of the Mezzogiorno, as shown by the latest data from analysis institutes.Incentives related to the Special Economic Zone (SEZ), likewise, with a contribution in the form of a tax credit for investments that varies from 60 percent to 40 percent in Sicily, depending on the size of companies, offer an extraordinary opportunity to facilitate innovation and encourage the development of strategic supply chains in the area.”The single SEZ represents an important driving force for the regional economy-prosecutes Cittadini-and allows Sicilian companies the opportunity to be able to innovate and be competitive both nationally and internationally.AIOP Sicily, concludes Barbara Cittadini, reiterates its willingness to collaborate with local, regional and national authorities to promote a shared strategy of sustainable and inclusive growth, which focuses on work and the enhancement of human capital.
