President Catiuscia Marini: “Sviluppumbria’s balance sheet demonstrates solidity and the concrete capacity to redefine its institutional mission”
28 Jun 2018
Presidente Catiuscia Marini “Sviluppumbria’s balance sheet demonstrates not only solidity, which is not a secondary consideration for a public company, but also the concrete capacity to redefine its institutional mission. For this reason, as a Regional Council, by approving it we have given credit to its President, to its General Manager and to the whole structure for the quality of the work carried out this year.”
This affirmation was made by Catiuscia Marini, President of the Umbria Region, during the press conference held at the end of the meeting of the Board of Directors of Sviluppumbria, which approved the approval of the financial statements for 2017, which closed with a significant profit for the year.
Other participants at the press conference included Antonio Bartolini, the Region’s councillor for heritage, Sviluppumbria’s president Gabrio Renzacci and General Manager, Mauro Agostini.
“The financial recovery of the running and function of the company, together with the redefinition of its function, which is now more consistent with the needs of our economic system and of the regional administration itself, represent an important achievement. Alongside this, I would like to stress the equally significant fact that Sviluppumbria is one of the very few companies in Italy that achieved all the objectives indicated by the Madia reform, concerning the management of companies in which public bodies hold an interest, well before it was instituted.”
Marini further noted that “Sviluppumbria’s good performance also contributes to improving the Region’s balance sheet” and “increases its capacity to more effectively perform its activities with regard to its institutional mission, regarding management of community resources, the internationalisation of the business system, integrated promotion and its role in partially owned companies such as Gepafin, Parco 3A, Umbriafiere and SASE”. SASE is the company which manages the “San Francesco d'Assisi” regional airport, of which Sviluppumbria is partner representing the Region. President Marini noted that SASE is “not losing money and its accounts are in order, in a national landscape of small airports where public management companies record very serious losses, asking their regions to make repeated capital increases for the coverage of management deficits. SASE therefore does not deduct a single euro from the regional budget for the airport management costs. On the contrary, it would be desirable for these resources earmarked for promotion, which we intend to reconfirm, to be joined by other resources from private stakeholders, to strengthen the promotion of air links themselves. And this is the mandate that we have entrusted to Sviluppumbria,” concluded Marini, “as a representative of the Region within SASE”.
