ROME (ITALPRESS) – “Institutions and public policies have important choices to make in order to close delays accumulated over time: starting with productivity, the functioning of public administration, and the reforms needed to grow opportunities. The National Recovery and Resilience Plan is an extraordinary opportunity and, as such, should be seized to the full.” This was said by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, speaking at the Quirinale at the ceremony of awarding the insignia of Knight of the Order “Al Merito del Lavoro” to the Knights of Labor. “Businesses are also asked to do their part, to accompany the common commitment with investment, research, innovation,” the head of state added. “Italy is second to none if – data from 2021 – 13.4 robots per thousand employees were recorded in factories, compared to 12.6 in Germany and 9.2 in France. We need to persevere in foresight, with the courage to design tomorrow. Tomorrow, not just the present. “The vibrancy of businesses and their ability to face market challenges, even in the changing and difficult conditions of recent years, has enabled us to recover after the season of financial crises and after the great setback following the Covid pandemic. Italy has returned to growth,” the head of state recalled. “If we look at the last five years, the Gross Domestic Product has increased more in percentage terms than the French and German ones. Employment is growing, and so are permanent employment contracts.”
