July 14, 2020 "The data released today by Eurostat are encouraging because they confirm the strong rebound of Italian industrial production in May (+ 42.1% on the April level) and show that the distance that still separates us from the levels of May 2019 (- 20.3%) is more contained compared to other large countries in the European Union and to the average in the Euro zone ".

This was stated by the Minister of Economy, Roberto Gualtieri.

"The May figure was probably positively influenced by the fact that the production closings in Italy in the months of March and April were wider and longer and some companies had to recover compared to the expected deliveries. However - added the minister - the this is very positive compared to expectations and, also in light of more updated indicators, it bodes well for a further rise in the industrial production index in June and July. We hope to see a recovery also from important industries which in May they have taken up relatively more limited ".

According to Gualtieri, "these are the first fruits of the extraordinary commitment of workers and companies, of the collaboration between the social partners and the government, which led to the protocol of April 24 on the fight against Covid in the workplace and allowed to resume safe production, and extensive measures to support the economy, but the challenge remains tough and the government continues its work of monitoring the economy day by day and will continue with ever greater determination in its commitment to tackle this difficult crisis and to support our productive fabric and employment ". "Italy - concluded Gualtieri - is and must remain a highly industrialized country and we must continue to focus on a strong relaunch of our industry marked by innovation and environmental and social sustainability".

The #Eurostat data are encouraging because they confirm the strong rebound of the Italian industrial production in May (+ 42.1% on the April level). We focus on the relaunch of the industry marked by innovation and environmental and social sustainability.
