According to the Observatory, the extremely strong boosts in orders from the Russian Federation and Japan– which represented 60% of the total boost in exports– are nevertheless predestined to deflate in the 2nd half of the year.

An aspect that is not discovered for our primary rival on the bulk side, Spain, which sees lined up export/import development of around 20%.
An April– which compares to the previous one, the worst in the last 5 years– nevertheless favorable and with a strong response in a number of tactical places. Compared to the quarterly balance, according to Istat the United States and Germany acquired 3 portion points and went back to favorable area (volumes +2.6% and +0.4% respectively), the UK tape-recorded a brand-new dive (+12%), Switzerland recuperated from -6% to -1% and Canada likewise succeeded (+5%).
