Perugia. After an extremely positive year in 2015, with Umbrian export scoring well above the national average growth rate with 6.4% versus 3.8%. The first quarter of 2016 also marked a very positive result for Umbria with exports growing by 5.4% compared with the national figure of -0.4%. ” The mechanical (+ 11.4%) and metallurgy (+5.2) are growing consistently once again according to the deputy chairman Fabio Paparelli of the Regional Council responsible for economic development. These results are comforting with respect to the consolidation and prospects for development of two key sectors of Umbrian economy, able to drag the Umbrian exports to a quota of €918 million, one step away from the historical record for this time of year. ” (9Colonne)
