How nice to take part in the Exhibition of Savings 2013 and find as a guest of the inaugural Conference Carlo Petrini, founder and president of Slow Food.
In his speech he spoke of Italian, Today the bearer of the good name of Italy in the World.
Already, because this sector, like that of the savings has lived its moment of decline in consumer confidence, when in the late 80, had broken the case of methanol wine (which had among other things, the death of 18 people).
That's talking about land and gardening, as he kept repeating, has contributed, at the moment who is experiencing the world of savings and investments, and the decline of public confidence in banks and insurance (three out of four Italians do not trust banks and insurance companies - GFK Global Trust Report). He promoted the investment slow as the seasons which produces flowers and food (Slowmoney – USA).
The trust has been the recurring theme edition 2013 event organized by Assogestioni.
Edition, which saw the participation of more than twelve thousand people in the three days in Milan, and that was enriched by two days of pre-salon in downtown Milan.
I attended the presentation of the draft financial education, sponsored by the City of Milan in collaboration with Progetica, Catholic University and Uni, and inserted into the Development Plan of Welfare as # azione44.
From next Monday we start with the pilot phase and then experimental, with two paths: Io Welfare, that will put citizens before drafting their own plan of life and Tu Welfare, which will see the interaction between the citizen and the financial educator, previously formed according to the guidelines of the standards of quality.
Then I attended the presentation of data from the 'Italian Observatory on household savings, by Gfk Eurisko - Prometeia which showed that the 2012 and the first months of 2013 make us see some positivity: The savings (the stock of financial wealth at the end of the Italian 2012 ammontava a 3.720 billion €, show a +2% compared to 2011) remains staple for families even if you lowered the share that you are unable to set aside (you'll save less because of the disposable income that tapers, see, eg, layoffs and / or periods of unemployment).
The search for simple tools such as deposit accounts and the increase in subscription of the mutual funds (are strong ones with the coupon), which have become the first two locations of the little savings remained.
Among the negativity presented an increase in the tax burden, Another reason that has driven down over the past two years, the disposable income, which fell more consumption.
Goodbye edition 2014!
