Policies / Hearing

In its submission to the parliamentary commission, Confindustria Assoimmobiliare highlights the role of social security agencies and public real estate assets as strategic levers for urban regeneration and for addressing the housing crisis. The document proposes greater use of financial instruments and public-private partnerships, accompanied by measures to simplify regulations, taxation, and urban planning, to attract investment and accelerate the development of public assets.

The hearing highlights the value of the measure in addressing the growing housing crisis, with particular attention to the “gray zone” and urban areas facing the greatest pressure. The use of public-private partnerships and the repurposing of public assets for social housing and urban regeneration are viewed positively. The hearing also emphasizes the need for structural reform of urban planning and building regulations to overcome inefficiencies in the permitting and procedural processes.

Confindustria Assoimmobiliare welcomes the enabling act on the reform of building regulations, which is better suited to the modern development needs of our cities and regions. The Association highlights three priorities: certainty regarding the duration of procedures, protection of investments through acquired rights, and flexibility in urban planning tools.

Confindustria Assoimmobiliare participated in the hearing on the annual bill for small and medium-sized enterprises, with particular reference to Article 6, which introduces measures aimed at promoting the use of securitization vehicles and real estate destocking. The Association emphasized that this legislative proposal represents a concrete opportunity to strengthen financial instruments supporting Italian SMEs, offering new forms of liquidity backed by real estate assets. The proposals ...

Confindustria Assoimmobiliare addressed the Eighth Committee of the Chamber of Deputies during the review of bills C.1169, C.1562, and C.2181, presenting the real estate industry’s perspective on the issue of housing poverty. The Association presented five actionable proposals to promote the development of social housing, through greater involvement of institutional capital and the removal of current regulatory and tax barriers that limit such participation.

Confindustria Assoimmobiliare expresses a very favorable opinion on the draft law titled “Provisions for the Authentic Interpretation of Urban Planning and Building Regulations,” which aims to clarify the interpretation of urban planning and building regulations, which are often applied inconsistently with current legislation. In particular, the measure concerns the subdivision plan (Law 1150/1942) and the distinction between building renovation and new construction (Presidential Decree ...

Confindustria Assoimmobiliare welcomes the proposed legislation aimed at implementing a framework to reorganize the sector in the areas of urban planning and construction, in order to clarify interpretations that are not always consistent with current national or regional legislation, with particular reference to subdivision plans (pursuant to Art. 41 quinquies, sixth paragraph, of Law 1150/1942) and to building renovations and new construction (pursuant to Art. 3, paragraph 1, letters d ...

Confindustria Assoimmobiliare has welcomed the conversion into law of Decree-Law No. 69 of May 29, 2024, containing urgent provisions regarding the simplification of building and urban planning regulations, as the Association believes that the difficulties in regularizing minor non-conformities have in the past acted as an impediment to the market and to the development of urban regeneration projects. In fact, the Italian regulatory framework is characterized by highly complex and uncertain ...

Confindustria Assoimmobiliare supports the objectives of the draft law on the reform of the business incentive system, particularly with regard to the need to ensure better planning, organization, and implementation of incentive policies, so that they are effectively geared toward maximizing the impact of public intervention in support of the business sector.

Confindustria Assoimmobiliare, as a trade association whose objectives include supporting the growth of the Italian real estate sector, can only welcome this
parliamentary debate, which aims to explore possible regulatory improvements to the current criminal law protections for property rights and other legal interests
at stake.

The ambitious energy efficiency targets set by the European Union for the built environment require a fundamental rethinking of Italy’s incentive system, with a view to long-term sustainability. Confindustria Assoimmobiliare reiterates the need to place greater emphasis on public-private partnerships, which must become the primary means of implementing green investments in real estate, thereby relieving the public budget of unsustainable burdens.

The decree has the merit of resolving a situation that had fueled uncertainty and concern among industry players and of reviving the trading of construction tax credits, providing useful clarification to enhance legal certainty.
However, to achieve the shared green objectives at the European level, Confindustria Assoimmobiliare believes it is necessary to rethink the incentive system currently in place in Italy to better leverage public-private partnerships, with the aim of making this ...
