"The economy of Sassari? It holds up but does not shine. The politics of the territory? Little decipherable. The companies? They believe in recovery but need certainties. It is no mystery to anyone how the Sassari, for some years now, is a a territory with intangible political and institutional references, which undergoes decisions without reacting with vigor and with indecipherable and little shared development guidelines ".
This is what Marco Rau, president of Confartigianato Sassari notes, pointing the finger at Sassari politics, drawing up a balance sheet of the first half of 2022 and analyzing the data of the entrepreneurial fabric of the territory.
THE DATA - The data, processed by the Observatory for SMEs of Confartigianato Imprese Sardegna, from ISTAT source and the Ministry of Economy and Finance, describe a local productive fabric with 19,864 productive activities of which 25.1%, 4,977 realities , artisans who employ about 17,500 workers , including direct workers and employees.
In the entire province of Sassari, out of the total number of companies, 1,350 are active in manufacturing , of which 925 are artisans (68.5%), 2,318 are those of construction , of which 1,612 are artisans (69.5%), and 16,196 operate in services , of which 2,440 artisans (15.1%).
The set of activities in the area employs 63,279 people , of which 11,710 are employed in the crafts , for an average size of the artisan enterprise of 2.4 (workers per company). All this insists on a resident population of 319,082 people, made up of 149,332 families, with a total taxable income of 3 billion and 652 million and a per capita income of 11,446 euros.
"The territory is disintegrating because it does not see a common project between institutions and companies - continues Rau - dealing with these issues is essential for companies to be aware that only with a favorable and well-governed context can they grow from an economic and from the social one ".
