New York – Lombardy alone accounts for 68 percent of all the north-western Italy exports (the area that also includes Piedmont, Liguria and Valle d’Aosta), the most internationally oriented area of the country, which over the last year has increased its trade especially with North America. Very positive were the dynamics that concern the European Union and the Middle East, while less satisfactory were the results related to Africa and Latin America. The figures were taken from a report by ICE (the Agency for the promotion abroad and the internationalization of Italian companies). The value of the goods traveling to foreign countries in 2015 amounted to €111.23 billion: 27.2 percent of the total figure of all regions, which amounted to €408.66 billion. (9colonne)
