Positive data for the Made in Italy: the demand coming from the huge markets of emerging countries have led to a strong growth in our exports. In fact, from January to July of this year, Italian products did very well on the markets Brazil, Russia, China and India and they scored +14,5.
The most relevant market is the Chinese one which absorbs 35,9% of exports to the Brics (and not Brics, South Africa is excluded), followed by Russia with 33,5%, Brazil with 16,5% and India with 14,2, XNUMX%.
From the Confartigianato report, emerges the decisive contribution from the Emilian companies which, compared to 2010, have surpassed the Veneto ones placing Emilia Romagna (+16,5%) in second place, behind Lombardy (+30,5%), in the ranking of regions that export the most.

But what do we export to the Bric? Above all machinery and equipment, equal to 37,9% of the total, which mostly end up in China.
