Zes unica, Tamajo: “A risk for the Sicilian economy”

Last Updated: October 6, 2023

The content discusses the uniqueness of the ZES system and raises concerns about whether it is an attempt at centralization, politically motivated, or a genuine opportunity for Southern Italy. There is a potential risk of economic stagnation if the system is centralized in Rome. The author hopes that regions and local administrations can play their important role in relation to the restructuring of ZES. Centralizing the special economic zones with a single governing body could be dangerous for Sicilian businesses and the development of Sicily. However, the author believes that the Roman government will provide concrete answers for the island and the South. The content also mentions the presence of various key figures during a conference on Southern Italy’s policies, including the Regional Director of Economic Activities of the Sicilian Region and representatives from Svimez and Confindustria.
