Today the Italian Ministry of Health published in the Official Gazette a Decree listing #CBD-containing compositions for oral use as narcotic medicines. The decree is surreal given that a similar decree has been suspended by the Italian Administrative Court pending the next hearing of september!! The decree mentions recent opinions of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità and the Consiglio Superiore di Sanità. The Italian Novel continues ... #cannabis #extracts #cannabinoids #italy

For sure, pharmacologically talking, CBD is not a narcotic. I think the Italian health authorities should review what a narcotic is. However, in my opinion CBD is also not a substance to be included in food or marketed as a food supplement. Actually, CBD doesn’t matches the definition of dietary suplement. So, in order to have a balanced perspective, politicians, meds agencies and the industry have a lot to learn and consider if they are really interested in working from a comprehensive perspective including public health, humans rights, security and sustainable development, integrating these pillars in a rational way.

Attacks on #HealthcarePersonnel are a phenomenon difficult to quantify. Official Italian data report 15,000 (verbal or physical) attacks per year, but some studies estimate as many as 400,000. In an article on SDA Bocconi Insight, Elisabetta Trinchero, Valeria D. Tozzi, and #FrancoGabrielli (past Undersecretary of State and Chief of Police, now SDA Professor) argue that the most effective way to combat the phenomenon is through organizational measures.   ​👨🏻‍⚕️​ ​ The most exposed category, i.e. the most overrepresented in relation to the size of the professional category, is that of #nurses, specifically young nurses.   ​🌡️​  In 69% of cases, the aggressors are the patients themselves, in 28% their relatives, and in 3% third parties. The aggressors are predominantly males with social discomfort, mental alteration due to substances, emotional stress from the loss or critical condition of a loved one, agitation, and anger.   ​ ​​👊🏻​ ​ The main triggers of aggression are: perceived lack of attention, perceived denied or delayed care considered essential; frustration due to long waiting times; disagreement, disputes over medical decisions, perception of a medical error; specific cases of unmet requests (illegitimate certificates, transport to a specific hospital); transfers; misunderstanding of the personnel's role.   ​🏥​  #Healthcare organizations can and must intervene primarily by safeguarding the mental as well as the physical well-being of their staff. From a review of 750 scientific publications on the subject, the authors have identified a series of possible interventions to address the three components of the risk of violence against healthcare workers: the probability of it occurring; its severity; its detectability.   #MentalHealth   Read the analysis: https://lnkd.in/dpWNCrqa

Should TotalEnergies merge with Eni? I do think so. The European car industry has profited from consolidation with M&A lead by Volkswagen Group and recently with Stellantis (owned by the Agnelli family through Exor N.V. with 14.90 %, the Peugeot family with 7.435 %, Bpifrance with 6.390 %, CPR Asset Management with 2.843 %, Vanguard with 2.779 %, The Ayco Co. LP with 2.498 %, J.P. Morgan with 1.642 %, Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. with 1.632 %, Arrowstreet Capital, Limited Partnership with 1.535 % and Banca d'Italia with 1.226 %). Today ConocoPhillips has agreed to acquire Marathon Oil Corporation in an all-stock deal valued at $22.5bn, including debt. This acquisition marks the latest in a series of megadeals reshaping the US oil industry. Key Highlights: - Enhanced Portfolio: ConocoPhillips will gain a suite of assets from North Dakota to Texas, strengthening its position in America’s prolific shale fields. - Strategic Move: The deal deepens Conoco’s portfolio with high-quality, low-cost inventory adjacent to its leading US unconventional position. - Market Impact: This transaction follows other significant mergers, including ExxonMobil and Chevron’s massive acquisitions last October. - Shareholder Benefits: Marathon shareholders will receive 0.255 shares of Conoco for each Marathon share, representing a 14.7% premium to Marathon’s closing share price on May 28. Market Reaction: - Marathon shares surged over 9% after the announcement, while Conoco shares saw a 2.8% dip. CEO Insights: - Conoco’s CEO, Ryan Lance, emphasized that consolidation is essential for the industry, stating, “Scale matters, diversity matters in the business.” - Marathon’s CEO, Lee Tillman, expressed confidence in delivering significant shareholder value with the combined assets and expertise. This acquisition, expected to close in the fourth quarter, is Conoco’s biggest since acquiring Concho Resources for $10bn in 2021. Advisors: - Marathon: Morgan Stanley and Kirkland & Ellis. - Conoco: Evercore and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. This historic deal is a significant step for both companies and highlights the ongoing consolidation in the US energy sector. Do you think TotalEnergies and Eni should merge? Or that Shell or Equinor should buy Galp or OMV?

‘𝗔 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗵’ is what Enrico Letta, former Italian Prime Minister, is calling for in Europe. Yesterday marked a pivotal moment for the European Single Market with the publication of the much-anticipated high-level report on its future, “𝗠𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁”, authored by Enrico Letta, former Italian Prime Minister and President of the Jaques Delors Institute. 🌏 For over three decades, the Single Market has been a foundation of European unity and values, driving economic growth, prosperity, and solidarity across the continent. However, in the face of geopolitical tensions and escalating competition from global powerhouses like China and the US, the EU finds itself at a crossroads. The need to rethink how the Single Market is performing has become clear and urgent. ⬆ Looking beyond the current state, the report charts a course for the next mandate. It identifies areas for improvement within the Single Market, aiming to develop a new Single Market 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝗮𝗽𝘀 between the EU and its competitors by channelling investments in critical areas and enhancing EU competitiveness. 🔎 How should that be done? The report states that the three key areas of 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆, 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 to strengthen the EU’s competitiveness. This will also help finance the fair, digital and green transition, tackle regulatory fragmentation for SMEs, promote defence investments, and support EU enlargement.

If still needed to demonstrate the importance of #newborn screening, especially in #SMA (a rare, devastating and rapidly progressing disease in its worst form)... The American Neurological Association just published a 20-month review of the first Italian regional experience. Conclusion: 👉 from the 42,490 screened children, 4 of them had Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) with two or three copies of the SMN2 gene. 👍 All received a treatment and showed NO CLINICAL SIGNS OF DISEASE after a maximum follow-up of 16-months. 💪 There was no false negatives, the minimum interval between diagnosis and the treatment initiation was 9 days. The interpretation of the medical journal: ✔MANDATORY NBS in SMA should be implemented on national scale. What are countries and the EU waiting for? 🤔 European Alliance for Newborn Screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy | Screen4Care | Screen4Rare | EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe #EU2024be | #EveryMomentMatters | #INSD2024

Here below the interview of NB Aurora’s Co-founder and Senior Partner Patrizia Micucci with Corriere della Sera which appeared in this week's L'Economia insert.   In the article she says that in Italy there are many SMEs that are world leaders in their niche markets, exporting almost all their production, led by great entrepreneurs who need growth capital investments. Those who invest in these companies are offered great business opportunities and can contribute to strengthening the backbone of the Italian economy. However, new ideas and initiatives are needed to enhance the profile and appeal of the artisanal and technical know-how that represents one of the most precious legacies of Made in Italy and today is at risk. This includes - why not? - television shows such as Masterchef.

The Italian GDP is expected to grow by 1% in 2024 and by 1.1% in 2025, showing a moderate acceleration compared to 2023. In 2024, the GDP growth rate will be supported by the contribution of both domestic demand net of inventories and net foreign demand (+0.7 percentage points each), with a still negative contribution from inventories (-0.4 p.p.). In 2025, the growth of the Italian economy will be predominantly driven by domestic demand (+0.9 p.p.). Private consumption continues to be supported by the strengthening labor market and by the real wages increase. These dynamics will lead to a growth of +0.4% of household consumption in 2024 and +1% in 2025. Gross fixed investment growth rate is expected to decelerate during the forecast period (to +1.5% and +1.2% in 2024 and 2025, respectively, from +4.7% in 2023), driven by the phasing out of fiscal incentives for construction, which will be offset by the effects of the implementation of the new measures under the PNRR and by lower interest rates. Employment, measured in terms of FTE, will grow in line with GDP (+0.9% in 2024 and +1.0% in 2025), accompanied by a decrease in the unemployment rate (7.1% this year and 7.0% in 2025). In the coming months, a gradual return to inflation rates closer to the ECB targets is expected; this trend will lead to a sharp deceleration in the household spending deflator (+1.6% in 2024, down from +5.2% in 2023), followed by a moderate increase in 2025 (+2.0%). The forecast scenario remains characterized by the persistence of high uncertainty in the international framework, determined by the evolution of geopolitical tensions.

### **Italy: The Land of Frills and Inaction?** 🚨 **Navigating a Land of Frills and Inaction** 🚨 In today's fast-paced world, strategic economic and industrial policies are crucial for sustainable growth. Unfortunately, in Italy, we see an overwhelming focus on appearances and little substantive action. The current landscape is riddled with: 🔍 **Vague Economic and Industrial Policies**: There's an evident lack of clear, actionable strategies, particularly in critical sectors that demand precision and foresight. 🌊 **Directionless Navigation**: Key industries are navigating without a clear compass, often making decisions on the fly rather than following a well-thought-out plan. 🍹 **Excess of Aperitifs, Meetings, and Propaganda Presentations**: While networking and discussions are essential, the balance has tipped too far towards social gatherings and self-promotion rather than concrete, impactful work. It's time to move beyond the frills and focus on real, actionable strategies that drive tangible results. Let's prioritize substance over style and ensure our economic and industrial sectors are robust, strategic, and forward-looking. #EconomicPolicy #IndustrialStrategy #Leadership #ActionOverTalk #StrategicPlanning #Italy Valentina Magri Margherita Carpinteri Fabio Scacciavillani Giulia Alati Davide Scarparo Margherita Cesca Nelder-Haynes RIBA FRSA Alberto Forchielli Federico Losego Oscar Bodini Antonio FINOCCHI GHERSI Alice Gambato Pasquale Preziosa Pasquale Merella, FRM Michele Peterle Leonella Gori Fulvio Giuliani Filippo Secolo Alessandro Alfano Giulio Busulini Marcello Spagnulo Raffaele Zanon

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently conducted its annual Article IV Consultation with Italy. Here are the key points from their findings: 1. High Debt and Deficit:   Italy's economy rebounded well from the pandemic and energy price shocks, thanks to tourism recovery and substantial policy support. However, the country faces challenges due to its high public debt and deficit. Expansionary fiscal policies have contributed to the recovery but have also kept the deficit and debt at alarming levels. This elevated Italy's risk premium and acted as a drag on private sector investment. 2. Inefficient Measures:   The IMF recommends withdrawing inefficient and temporary crisis measures to achieve faster-than-planned fiscal adjustment. Doing so would reduce debt with limited impact on economic growth. Beyond the near-term, Italy should maintain a sizable primary surplus while accommodating growth-enhancing investments and latent spending pressures. These measures would help restore fiscal space in case of severe shocks. 3. Financial Stability:   Italy's banking system remains sound, but sustained high interest rates and declining liquidity buffers could weaken borrowers' debt servicing capacity. The recent increases in bank-based and systemic risk buffers are welcome steps to strengthen safeguards against future risks. 4. Productivity Boost:   Urgent action is needed to reinvigorate productivity. The full execution of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, followed by a medium-term structural fiscal plan, should focus on critical public infrastructure, research, innovation, education system reform, and improving the business climate. In summary, Italy must address its high debt and inefficient measures promptly to ensure sustainable economic growth and stability. Implementing tougher fiscal measures and prioritizing productivity-enhancing investments are crucial steps forward.. #italy #IMF #economy #financial #markets
