About 600 companies answered the survey of Promos Italia, the agency for the internationalization of the Italian Chamber of Commerce system. Up to 25% of respondents complained about a loss of turnover equal to 80% yoy in the last two months due to the coronavirus emergency and the resulting lockdown.
The damage was slight for 9% of those surveyed and average for 18%. On the other hand, 17.3% of respondents claims to have been able to start up again thanks to exports. “This is good news” explains Promos president Giovanni da Pozzo.
