“Italy is in a solid position, with positive fundamentals and, however, a choral effort is needed on the country’s future project, increasing competitiveness and creating quality occupation for young people”.
The head of state said so Sergio Mattarella In a message sent to the Annual Shareholders ‘Meeting, by specifying that “insurance companies compete with a role in this scenario, to ensure that the emergence of a climate of risk does not slow down the business spirit and does not affect citizens’ rights. Insurances are one of the most sensitive thermometers of the demographic trends of a country and their contribution is essential to accompany changes and development objectives”.
We are “in a moment characterized by strong uncertainty in Europe and in the world.
Conflicts in progress, neo-protective thrusts make elements of instability prevail and this, of course, in addition to representing threat to the same destinies of humanity, affects the prospects of the economy and markets, also in the insurance field “.
“The insurance activity fulfills a social function, contributing to the cohesion of Italian society, first of all through tools that make it possible to effectively start again on large community the charges of anomalous events, also proposing herself as an actress of financial stability, as the protagonist in long -term investments and in the contribution to the sustainability of national public debt”.
And also for this reason, “the limitation of the commitment of the state in the coverage of some types of calamities – continued the head of state – deriving from extreme climatic events makes insurance protection even more relevant, a circumstance that does not exone, of course, the institutions from the obligations of prevention”.
Furthermore, Mattarella observed, “the growing of needs in areas such as social security and health care, with the gap with respect to the public resources intended, is placed in the same trend”.
