Anna Lambiase, CEO of IR Top Consulting: “The publication of the decree is a sign of the importance given by the Government to the growth of the capital market for the future of the Italian economy. We have worked for the development of AIM Italia for a long time and this standard is moving in the direction of enhancing the work done in favour of a market in which we have believed and invested since its birth by developing a recognisable asset that today distinguishes us in the Italian financial community. We expect the tax credit to stimulate a further demand for SME quotations on AIM which, since 2009, has provided about 4 billion euros of capital to companies. As part of our technical support to the government we have included an in-depth analysis concerning the definition of the policy around ‘average IPO costs’ and the measure of the standard in terms of allocated resources (€ 80 million). In particular, the areas analysed by the AIM RESEARCH DEPARTMENT were: types of listing costs on the AIM market of the Italian Stock Exchange, sensitivity analysis based on average funding data (7.2 million Euro) and the average (5, 3 million euros), the possible impact of the tax incentive on the number of new IPOs and the estimates based on empirical evidence from 2017. Considering that we expect an average threshold amount below 500,000 euros, there would be a benefit from the incentive for about 180 IPOs in the three-year period 2018-2020.” Forrester: Expert System among the eight leaders of AI text analytics Expert System is a leader in the field of cognitive computing and text analytics.
