Solo 5 paesi al mondo possono vantare un surplus commerciale manifatturiero (l’export che supera l’import) maggiore di 100 miliardi di dollari. L’Italia è uno di questi [#10verità sulla competitività italiana di @@Fondazione Symbola, @@Unioncamere e Fondazione Edison: http://bit.ly/10_verità]. C’è un paese in Europa che attira più turisti cinesi, statunitensi, canadesi, australiani e brasiliani di ogni altro. E’ l’Italia. C’è un paese che primeggia in quanto ad efficienza ambientale – meno CO2 e meno rifiuti - delle proprie imprese: è l’Italia. E c’è un Paese che durante la crisi globale ha visto il proprio fatturato estero manifatturiero crescere più di quello tedesco. Questo paese è l’Italia. Se vi dicono che non siamo competitivi, che siamo finiti, non gli credete!
