Tax, Law and The Fiscal System

Interview with Concetta Lo Porto; Senior Tax Lawyer, Gruppo Intesa San Paolo

Commentary:
“The economy operates through the taxation system. Fiscal maneuvers can determine the economic direction of a country. Taxation is a planning tool. Economic choices should not be made for fiscal reasons alone, but fiscal factors can help in the decision making as they can be used as incentives. A fiscal efficient state is able to distribute the fiscal pressure equally and use taxation to incentivize strategic sectors.”

We talk to ‘CoCo’ Lo Porto about Fiscal systems and the role of government, private sector and citizens in rebuilding the economy after the pandemic.

The role of Government in an Economic Crisis

Interview with Lucio Caracciolo, director of Limes magazine, most important geopolitical expert in Italy.

Commentary:
“Uncertainty on the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is very high. Italian GDP fell by 4.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2020. The available information suggests an even larger contraction of economic activity in the current quarter, which is expected to be particularly severe in the service sector. The timing and strength of the recovery will depend on several factors that are hard to predict: the duration and geographical spread of infection, developments in the global economy, the impact on confidence and hence on household spending and firms’ investment decisions, possible financial repercussions. They will also depend, to a significant degree, on the effectiveness of economic policies.” Note on covid, Bank of Italy.”

In February of 2021, a year after the start of the pandemia, Italy’s government was overhauled and the economist Mario Draghi former head of European bank became prime minister.

We talk to Lucio Caracciolo about the current situation in Italy and the role of government during an economic crisis.
