The analysis of ISTAT foreign trade data for the first three quarters of the current year carried out by ASSOCOMAPLAST as compared to the same period in 2014 confirms the positive performance in both imports and exports observed in previous months, particularly as regards imports, where sustained growth is seen. Extrapolating this trend, the overall value of purchases from abroad in December should fall somewhere between 700 and 750 million euros.
Good results (+6,2%) in exports as well: in the first nine months of this year they have nearly reached the same level as the full year 2014 and 2015 may break the all-time record, reached in 2007, of 2.8 billion euros.
This trend would bring a new impetus to Italian production, perhaps pushing it beyond the threshold of 4.1 billion euros.
