The new economic scenarios for Italy and the Mezzogiorno: between global challenges and local opportunities

Sede da definire BARI

The meeting will offer an in-depth analysis of the current Italian economic landscape, with a specific focus on the dynamics affecting the Mezzogiorno. In a context marked by persistent territorial imbalances and new geopolitical and industrial challenges, it is crucial to understand which levers can support the country’s competitiveness and what opportunities are emerging for Southern Italy.

Thanks to contributions from Federico Fubini – Deputy Editor and columnist at Corriere della Sera – and Gregorio De Felice – Chief Economist at Intesa Sanpaolo – participants will have the opportunity to examine key macroeconomic trends and reflect on priority actions to strengthen productivity, attract investment, and reduce regional disparities.

The meeting will explore:

  • the macroeconomic conditions of Italy
  • the strategic role of the Mezzogiorno in key sectors
  • the levers to close territorial gaps, with reference to human capital, youth employment, innovation, and the quality of public administration
  • the opportunities generated by new public and private investments
  • possible medium-term scenarios for businesses and regions, with a focus on the factors that can enhance competitiveness and foster more balanced development.
