Hong Kong – Anticipating and intercepting the dynamics of growth in geographically strategic markets with good development potential: this was the twofold goal set by UniCredit for the meeting hosted at the Chamber of Commerce of Rome. The International Forum: Focus on Asia Pacific involved more than 90 companies from Lazio, interested in developing their business abroad. The event wanted to present prospects for economic growth and business opportunities in mainland China and in Hong Kong, as well as facilitating the entry of Lazio companies in these territories. “According to the data of our Observatory – said Mario Fiumara, Deputy Head of the Italian Center for UniCredit – in the first six months of 2015 we have seen a slight decline (-1%) in exports from Lazio to Asia, compared with the same period of 2014. Over the same period imports sharply increased amounting to almost € 1.9 billion, for an 87% increase. We want to give entrepreneurs from the region a large set of objective and qualified information on those markets that are particularly receptive to Lazio exports or where we believe there are good growth prospects”.
