“Currently, our enterprises are still working well, engaged in producing the last part of the orders collected last year. Owing to this, our turnovers at the end of 2023 will still be good. On the contrary, if we are not able to reverse course already after the summer break, the first months of next year may be different”, says Barbara Colombo. © Ucimu
