Italy is still the leader in processing and trading stone products, as
well as machinery and technology, with total exports in the first half
of 2012 in excess of 1.3 billion euros. This continues the market
revival for the Italian processed materials and semi-finished
products, thanks largely to exports which grew in value by 7.4% (from
777.9 to 835.3 million euros); On the other hand, machinery and
technology fell back slightly to 465.8 million euros (-1.9%), although
there are forecasts for a recovery by the end of the year.
