(ANSA) – VENICE, DECEMBER 30 – In the first 6 months of 2022, expensive energy will put 500,000 jobs in Italy at risk, at least with the temporary suspension. This was supported by the Mestre CGIA which underlined how “the increases in electricity and gas will have very serious effects on the employment front”.
In the coming months, in fact, with annual variations in tariffs that in some sectors risk reaching +250 per cent, according to the Artisans, many companies in the glass, paper, ceramic, cement, plastic, brick production, heavy mechanics, food, chemicals, etc., could be forced to stop production, because they are unable to cope with the exponential increase in these fixed costs.
The explosion of prices – notes the CGIA – affects all activities without distinction, even if some excellences of our Made in Italy risk much more than others. Sectors that are currently making a fundamental contribution to Italy’s economic recovery, with levels of sales abroad that have never been reached before. In fact, there are not a few territorial realities that will have to deal with the next increases, with the result that for many companies it will be cheaper to turn off the machinery, hopefully temporarily, than to keep the plants on.
