Three speeches, but the same message. Tuesday January 21, during the presentation of their wishes to the economic forces of Maine-et-Loire, the presidents of the consular chambers expressed the wish to regain stability
for the year 2025. There is no strong nation without a strong economy. And for this, it is urgent to have governmental stability
declared Matthieu Billiard, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, during this ceremony organized at the Le Fresne horticultural high school, in Sainte-Gemmes-sur-Loire.
Before him, the president of the Chamber of Trades and Crafts, Nadège Dekenuydt, had estimated that political and legislative instability, incessant changes in regulations and even economic and fiscal uncertainty weaken our economic environment
. A difficulty that is further aggravated, according to her, by an administrative complexity capable of discourage or slow down promising initiatives
.
An expectation of simplification
On this point, François Beaupère, regional president of the Chamber of Agriculture, relayed a demand made brilliantly by farmers: The anger of winter 2024 expressed an expectation of administrative simplification. Tremendous work has been carried out for six months, but we are still waiting for a law, a decree or a regulatory text. The lack of stability has not given us peace of mind on this point.
Closing the door to a year 2024 complex
both for construction and local commerce and certain industries, Matthieu Billiard nevertheless called on business leaders to be optimistic to meet the challenges of tomorrow
. And there are many of them.
