Two consecutive years. With the February data, the months of continuous growth in national exports become 24, the 15th consecutive double-digit figure. Increase of 10.8% generated above all by non-EU sales (China in particular, due to the effect of drugs, with a decisive contribution from the Pfizer site in Ascoli and the anti-Covid drug) while in Europe progress is limited to 5.5 %. Above all because of Germany, our first market, whose purchases of made in Italy products rise by only 1.5%.
Growth of 10.8% almost entirely linked to price lists, while exported volumes grew by only 0.1%.
