Italy: a nation of two halves
Article Abstract:
Italy ranks sixth among world economies and sixth among United Kingdom export markets. UK direct investment in Italy amounted to 414 million pounds sterling in 1994, and Italian direct investment in the UK was 177 million pounds in that year. Southern Italy is less wealthy and less industrial than the north and has higher levels of unemployment. Bureaucracy can be a problem and appears to have worsened, with environmental protection laws varying from one region to another.
