00:22 Snytec 2023 positive, look to the future. Follow 120 seconds, window on the markets.

00:38 A positive 2023 for Snytec, which has made significant performances,

00:43 as a leader in the gaming sector, and looks with confidence to next year.

00:47 The three words, the three guidelines that have guided the year of 2023

00:52 have been the consolidation, innovation and social responsibility.

00:58 The consolidation, first of all, is the result of what has been the long queue

01:05 that characterized the post-COVID, which led us to confirm market share

01:11 and the company's positioning.

01:13 In the first six months of 2023 we recorded all positive numbers,

01:18 both in terms of turnover, which grew from 10% to 490 million,

01:22 which in terms of debt, which stopped at 142 million,

01:26 with a semester later, the second, which largely confirmed the first.

01:33 Central for the company is the push for innovation and new technologies.

01:37 For us, innovation means making sure that people,

01:42 women and men at Snytec, think differently every day

01:48 and that it helps the company to grow in its markets.

01:54 Certainly, innovation in terms of our products

01:59 has been concentrated in web technologies this year.

02:04 We are about to launch a new site, completely new,

02:11 driven by artificial intelligence, adaptive.

02:15 We also have innovation in terms of retail.

02:19 A new family of SSVTs will arrive,

02:23 therefore of terminals dedicated to retail,

02:26 and we are making, changing our ability to offer our businesses to the public.

02:38 And for Snytec, the social responsibility of the company

02:41 starts with the full involvement of all employees.

02:44 For us, social responsibility is, first of all, a concept that should not be abstract,

02:50 not a good thing to do, but something that is fully shared by the entire corporate population.

02:59 That is why the word "involvement" is the one that best links to social responsibility.

03:08 Involvement, to cite practical examples,

03:12 happens both at the design level,

03:15 so we have had and have had a design involvement for several years

03:20 with the Share for Good project,

03:21 which is a project that requires the corporate population

03:25 to propose new projects on which to commit the company in favor of the community.

03:32 And then there are also active involvement,

03:35 so not only design,

03:36 which are those who see the people of Snytec

03:40 participate directly in the projects on which the company has invested

03:46 or on which the company has been creating for a long time.

03:49 The Snytec Industry Index

03:54 In November 2023, it is estimated that the Index of the Industrial Production

04:03 decreased by 1.5% compared to October.

04:06 In the middle of the quarter, September and November,

04:08 a fluctuation of the level of production of 0.8%

04:12 compared to the previous three months is recorded by the Institute.

04:15 Something is changing in the panorama of the professional choices of young people

04:18 with an interest in the development of practical technical professions.

04:21 According to the annual observatory of young professionals of scuola.net,

04:24 conducted in collaboration with Autostrade per d'Italia,

04:27 a young man out of four close to a diploma is considering these occupations

04:31 as a valid option for his future.

04:33 A positive signal,

04:34 especially considering the constant difficulty of the world of work

04:37 in finding people ready to perform such tasks.

04:40 The 5.0 transition plan, Industry 4.0,

04:44 will have at its disposal 13 billion euros in the 2024-2025 budget

04:48 for companies that have a plan of technological modernization

04:51 for the purpose of innovation and energy efficiency

04:54 for the reduction through renewable energy production

04:57 for the purpose of self-consumption.

04:59 The Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, said so,

05:02 speaking with journalists at the opening of the International Men's Fashion Salon in Florence.

05:07 Almost 30% of the turnover of typical Italian local productions,

05:11 equal to 8.5 billion euros, is generated directly by the modern distribution

05:15 through the distributor's brands.

05:17 It emerges from the brand-to-brand relationship of the Made in Italy distributor

05:20 the role of modern distribution.

05:22 Agriculture has historically been an excellence

05:26 in the complex of Italian productive activities

05:28 and the introduction of innovative technologies in the processes of harvesting and processing

05:31 has allowed it to stay up to date with the times,

05:34 continuing to enhance the production of higher value.

05:37 More than 1.1 million companies operate in the sector,

05:40 mostly still in family or individual management.

05:43 These are the data released today by the INAIL

05:45 on the occasion of the presentation of the Bando ISI 2023 for Agriculture.

05:49 The arrivals in agricultural structures have exceeded 4 million,

05:53 thus recording a strong recovery compared to 2019,

05:56 with an 8.5% increase in the year before the pandemic,

05:58 and this emerges from the analysis with the direct Terranostra

06:01 on the relationship and the stats on agricultural companies in Italy.

06:04 The arrival of 2024 marked the end of the service of protection

06:08 for gas supply to non-vulnerable domestic customers

06:11 who did not go to the free market

06:13 and a new tariff was assigned with possible aggravations

06:16 that according to an elaboration by Facile.it would reach up to 177 euros per year.

06:21 2024 could be positive for gold prices,

06:32 it's hard to make predictions,

06:34 but according to Stephen Bell, Chief Economist and Mayor of Columbia,

06:38 "Trading All Investments", prices should benefit from the fall of interest rates

06:43 and its status of "good and refuge" should offer further support.

06:46 The analyst recalls that the increase in interest rates

06:49 should have generated a hard period for precious metal,

06:52 but this dynamic has changed when Russia invaded Ukraine.

06:56 Central banks are pouring a huge amount of capital into gold,

07:00 in 2022 they bought over 1,000 tons

07:03 and a similar figure is expected in 2023, just concluded.

07:07 Bell explains that in the last two years

07:09 it was expected that gold would go through a difficult period

07:12 because as it happens for a bond without a cedula,

07:15 the latter is an asset that does not generate interest, but it was not.

07:19 The United States and the European Union have frozen

07:21 350 billion dollars in the reserves of the Russian Central Bank.

07:26 The surprising strength of the price of gold

07:28 could reflect the escape of capital to this "good and refuge"

07:32 by central banks, political personalities and powerful individuals

07:36 afraid of being able to suffer a similar fate in the future.

07:39 Sanctions against Russia are in fact unprecedented in terms of scope and impact

07:44 and have involved not only the central bank,

07:46 but also almost 2,000 individuals and entities to whom the assets have been frozen.

07:51 The analyst underlines that security, given the current context,

07:54 seems to be the main reason for the huge amounts of gold purchases

07:58 made by central banks.

08:00 What to expect in 2024?

08:03 Bell recalls that interest rates are going down,

08:06 a valuable support for the price of gold,

08:08 as well as the reasons that have so far encouraged the escape of capital

08:12 and the priority of security could remain still valid.

08:16 The assets affected by the sanctions have not been seized,

08:19 rather the Western governments seem to want to use them

08:22 to rebuild Ukraine after the war,

08:25 when the negotiations for the peace agreement will begin,

08:28 understanding how and who will manage the expenses will be fundamental.

08:31 A debate that, according to the analyst,

08:33 will highlight the vulnerability of conventional financial assets.

08:37 There are certainly other ways to protect your assets from freezing,

08:42 some might think of bitcoins,

08:44 but the gold, says Bell,

08:46 has shown its security, stability and value for over a millennium.

08:50 Bitcoins still have a long way to go to reach a similar level.
