120.000 imprese a rischio di chiusura, dice Rai 24. Naturalmente a causa del caro gas. Ma la settimana prossima fanno un nuovo decreto. E tutto si risolve magicamente. Nessuno menziona la cosa più giusta da fare. Trovare un accordo con la Russia, togliendo le sanzioni. E si comincia a parlare di attacco ai bpt. Situazione perfetta per il fallimento dell'Italia.

Come ho scritto qualche giorno fa, la toppa è peggio del buco.
Sconvolge l'ottusità della politica europea di fronte alla situazione.
Soluzione immediata: aprire il gasdotto NS2 siglando un contratto ventennale di fornitura con la Russia, continuare con la produzione di energia delle centrali nucleari esistenti in Europa anzichè programmare la loro dismissione come aveva fattto la Germania, incentivare da subito nuove estrazioni di gas e petrolio in Europa autorizzando il fracking. Ciò naturalmente rispettando dei severi controlli ambientali per evitare abusi.

Since Russia’s invasion in February, Ukraine has had to radically rethink its finances and ask private creditors for relief on debt payments. As the biggest land conflict in Europe since World War II drags on, destroying vital infrastructure and shutting down swathes of the country’s economy, the government in Kyiv remains under intense pressure.

Ukraine has secured permission from a majority of its investors to freeze about $20 billion of payments on its international bonds for two years, covering both principal and interest. The debt process is backed by Ukraine’s key allies, including the US and the International Monetary Fund, as the country needs cash for everything from paying pensions to defending against its much bigger and richer aggressor. Ukraine has mostly relied on central bank funding and sales of so-called war bonds and has depleted its foreign-currency reserves during the conflict.

Its economy could shrink by a third in 2022, as tens of thousands of people have been killed, millions have fled the country and numerous factories have been destroyed or taken over by Russian forces. Damage to ports and other infrastructure has severely hampered exports.

The world’s largest private investors and key members of the Paris Club are among Ukraine’s largest creditors. BlackRock Inc., Fidelity International Ltd., Amia Capital LLP and Gemsstock Ltd. all hold Ukraine’s foreign debt, while member nations of the Paris Club include the US, the UK, Germany and France. The IMF has also lent extensively to Ukraine. Earlier in April, it established a new account designed to give donor countries a secure way to provide support to stabilize Ukraine’s economy as the war carried on.
