Our province first. But only for companies that sell outside Italy. Gino Sabatini: «The internationalization of companies is by now an obligatory path»

Ascoli, 12 June 2013 -POSITIVE TREND of exports of companies in the province of Ascoli in the first quarter of 2013.
Actually it's up to the Piceno business system to record the highest peak of exports. With an eloquent +60.3% it is Ascoli that indicates the greatest increase in sales abroad followed in the ranking of the provinces by Latina (+39.6%) and Florence (+17.9%). But if the contrast to the slowdown in exports is particularly relevant in the Piceno area, among the provinces with the highest contribution to the decrease in national exports, we note: Syracuse, Taranto, Arezzo, Rome, Caltanissetta, Cagliari and Naples.

Indeed, according to the survey released yesterday by Istat entitled: «Exports of the Italian regions» shows that in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the previous quarter, the sales of goods on foreign markets decreased by 0.7%, as a synthesis of the drop in sales for the regions of Italy. The regions that contribute most to the decline in exports in the first quarter of 2013 are Puglia (-16.1%), Sicily (-9.9%), Friuli-Venezia Giulia (-6.8%), Lombardy (-0.6%) and Sardinia (-9.1%). Among the expanding regions, the following are particularly dynamic: Marche (+13.2%), the province of Bolzano (+3.8%), Liguria (+2.5%) and Lazio (+2.4%). In the Marches, as indeed also in the Ascoli area, exports were driven up by the sales of pharmaceutical and chemical-medicinal articles. «The internationalization of companies is by now an obligatory path - said Gino Sabatini president of Piceno Promotion special company of the Chamber of Commerce of Ascoli – and our effort is precisely to facilitate penetration of foreign markets especially for small and very small companies that characterize our economic system». We asked the president of Confindustria Ascoli Bruno Bucciarelli to explain the increase in exports in particular
