«Despite the pandemic crisis, the Italian system has shown that it is healthy and capable of reacting. But the energy crisis and inflation risk blocking the recovery ». The comment comes from the president of UnionCamere, Andrea Prete, who looks at the national data on the business market, photographed in the third quarter of 2022.
The analysis also applies to Sardinia, where the balance between openings and closures of new businesses is positive, but slowing down compared to the same period last year and, in any case, with a slow but constant drop in the start-up of new businesses which been going on for a decade.
As at 30 September, 172,596 companies were registered in the chambers of commerce on the island. In the previous three months, 1,425 new businesses had been launched, while 919 had ceased. So there were over 500 more businesses on the market. An increase of 0.29%, lower than that of the same period last year, when there was a plus of 0.44%.
However, the productive sector resists, because there are more that are opened than those that lower the shutters. But the crisis is making itself felt. Suffice it to say that the new companies opened in Sardinia in 2010 were 2,519. In 2022, even if not finished yet, there were just 1429 in nine months. It is possible, over the course of the whole year, to exceed the 2021 figure, when just over 1600 new registrations had been registered.
