Cassa Depositi e Prestiti plans and objectives
What Dario Scannapieco, number one of Cdp, said at the inauguration of the third year of the Political School of the New Millennium Foundation
Last night, at the Sala degli Specchi of Casina Valadier in Villa Borghese in Rome, the launch presentation of the third edition of the “Living in the Community” Political School of the New Millennium Foundation was held.
After the speeches by Francesco Profumo and Stefano Lucchini, members of the Supervisory Board of the Political School, the heart of the conference was represented by the broad speech of the CEO of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, Dario Scannapieco.
WHERE DOES CDP GO? TALK SCANNAPIECO
The history of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti is long and has changed over time. “Initially Cassa was an institution that lent to local territories, then it entered Equity, started operating in venture capital (ie with startups), then in international cooperation”, said Scannapieco. And “today it plays a fundamental role in the NRP. Today we can manage the funds. We are arranging the strategic ones, all the shareholdings are: Snam, Italgas, Enel ”, underlined the number one of the group controlled by the Ministry of Economy.
OBJECTIVE: TO BE AND MAKE SUSTAINABLE
Cassa's current idea is “to be an alternative to the market. There are ten areas in which to act, essential today to make the Italian financial system work. We work by teaming up with Regions and Municipalities to spend well. The world is full of nonsense done ”, specified and warned the number one of the CdP. “In Italy there is the nightmare of re-planning of funds. The theme is choice ”. Because what matters, according to this project, is “to understand where the benefit is greatest. Technical skills are needed, we have organized ourselves with Centers and we have offered ourselves as third party fund managers ”.
Everything, however, once again revolves around “respect for the environment in everything we do. The key word is impact ” . Everything revolves around the concept of sustainability. “I am thinking of our Energy Green Policy”.
HOW TO MANAGE THE PNRR ACCORDING TO DARIO SCANNAPIECO
And what about the PNRR? “To implement it, we must work with those who make the investments, to help them make the right choices to get things done quickly and well”, added Scannapieco. Then announcing that “in the coming months we will open a first office abroad, in Africa. We will open a fund of infrastructure funds. Now we manage 7 billion for 15 ministerial initiatives, we help other implementing bodies for 68 billion ”. Furthermore, “we have strengthened the European office in Brussels, signed a 256 million venture capital agreement”.
And how is Italy in general proceeding with the implementation of the Plan? "On some measures we are ahead and on others less", replies Scannapieco. I am thinking, for example, of the student halls. “But – in general – we need to talk about alternative measures where needed, we are doing well. The PNRR must be thought of from the side of reforms, not (only) of the money that arrives and therefore from the financial side. Today in Italy for a public work worth 100 million it takes 16 years. Italy has always had the money, yet it has grown by zero point. Today we need reforms. We need to speed up the authorizations, the bureaucratic side ”.
In conclusion, Marcello Presicci, general secretary of the Political School said: "This year too we will invest our time and energy in training 40 young people with high potential for free, putting them in contact with some of the most important academic and business figures in Italy. Italy. Our goal remains to invest in the human capital of young people, strengthening their already solid skills through moments of confrontation and dialogue of great value, such as the one expressed by the CEO of Cdp, Dario Scannapieco. This is our contribution to the institutions and the country in a complex moment of. our story".
