Corneliu Bodea, CEO of Adrem, discussed during the fifth edition of the ForbesForward event about the measures he will propose together with other associations, the state and how technology can save us from other pandemics in the future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The CEO of Adrem developed during the ForbesForward<\/a> event the measures that he will propose to the Government, together with other associations in the energy industry, considered necessary from their point of view to preserve the balance in the national energy system, which is now more important than before the crisis. “The Government will have to support the relaunch of investments, with investments in energy infrastructure supported by the state, such as the expansion of the gas network. With the help of the state, all these initiatives will succeed in bringing workers and activity back into the energy system. Another measure is the support mainly by ANRE with dedication of investments aimed at computerization and digitization of the energy system. Romania is lagging behind because we do not have a system that is digitized.” <\/p>\n\n

In the context of the economic crisis, the entrepreneur believes that people who work in the business environment must adopt measures that could make businesses more flexible. “I believe that it gives us, entrepreneurs, the opportunity to redesign our business, to analyze and see, where it can be modified so that it is ready to face a period that is estimated to be reasonably long, full of economic difficulties. <\/p>\n\n

It is assumed that this abrupt slowdown of the global economy brings with it an increase in unemployment and extremely big problems in terms of consumption in the future. Of course, here we can enter a vicious circle, we all get more cautious positions and in general this means that we reduce the level of costs or investments, which helps the economic crisis further. It is possible that the virus will reappear, if we do not maintain certain precautions it will return and prolong the economic risk.” <\/p>\n\n

He mentioned at the ForbesForward<\/a> event that technology can help us, in the future, to better cope with crisis situations, such as the one created by this pandemic. “The only way for man to be able to better cope with such situations in the future is technology, what we have in addition to these micro-organisms is exactly technology. I’m not a fan of BigBrother technologies, I don’t think that the privacy of our lives should be violated, but we will have to think about using technology more and more to be able to protect ourselves from such situations.” <\/p>\n\n

Regarding the measures adopted by the authorities, in the context of the crisis caused by the pandemic, Corneliu Bodea said that he is amazed by the difference between what is claimed, what is said and what is happening in reality. “The measure of covering technical unemployment is a good measure because it gives companies confidence to keep their employees, after the state of emergency, but there are a number of other measures that are stuttered. An example related to the difference between what is said and what is done is what happened a few days ago with ANAF, which, through a loophole, made the companies that had reschedulings receive decisions to stop rescheduling, although obviously during this period it was impossible to pay their rescheduling rates but also the current taxes, which was later denied by the Minister of Finance but in the end recognized and it seems that an ordinance is expected to implement this problem as well. Of course, it may have been an escape or a method to leave certain companies out of protection, being with rescheduling, it was obvious that they were already in difficulty.” <\/p>\n\n

He also said that there are problems of inconsistency at the state level, and the CEO gave the example of the bills that are circulating in Parliament but which are in dissonance with what the Government wants to do. “This can upset the economic environment. The most important thing is how the Government together with the banks will manage the crisis that will start from June onwards that will be at its peak at the end of this year, after autumn, now it will be important to see how we manage in such a way that we do not have hundreds of companies in default of payment.” <\/p>\n\n

The CEO of Adrem said in the ForbesForward<\/a> show that the international part of the business was strongly affected due to the travel bans, imposed in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. “Out of about 1500 employees, we had to send about 700 to technical unemployment because all our activities involving customer interaction were stopped.” <\/p>\n\n

Looking at the business plans for the future, Corneliu Bodea said that he will start preparing the company for the return to normal activity, in some stages, so that by the end of May it will be back to work. “An economic crisis awaits us, healthy I don’t think it will be a V-shaped return \u2013 an abrupt return to normal although we may have an infusion given by the fact that people have been isolated for so long, but I expect it to be a deep crisis that will last for years, it will generate unemployment but I think this virus shows us that we were arrogant, even these conspiracy theories are proof of this arrogance, people do not have the ability to recognize the fact that nature can give birth to something like this and they believe that it was made by a man in the laboratory, it is false. We need to rethink our businesses, I will redesign business processes and I think I will bring much more flexibility to deal with future crises.” <\/p>\n\n
