Why it matters
The incentives follow a report showing that commercial companies in the province of Catanzaro declined by 4.8 percent as of May 31, 2026, which was more pronounced than the regional decline of 3.7 percent. Sandro Scoppa, president of Confbuilding Catanzaro and Calabria, noted that taxes and urban planning rigidities complicate the ability to open or rent businesses.
