Abruzzo at the center of the new scenarios of world trade
Investments for the strengthening of related exports are at the center of the programs of the Abruzzo Region, which aims to increase the traffic of commerce through a major upgrade of the infrastructures.
In reality, the objective is easily legible on an even larger scale, which bypasses the purely maritime commercial sphere to embrace extremely current issues such as innovation, shining the light on Abruzzo as a real hinge territory between the West and the East.
World trade characterized by new scenarios from West and East
In reality, at the basis of these reasonings there is a profoundly changed geopolitical situation over the last decade, with the heavy US-China rift and the British Brexit dominating with a pivotal role, real keystones in the development of world trade.
You will surely wonder what Abruzzo can ever get into international issues of such importance. Well, our region has an obligation to take advantage of the current turmoil to take charge and become a fundamental driving force, an open door to the Mediterranean towards China.
Italian exports wink at China.
As? European exports begin to feel bitter precisely following the British exit from the Old Continent, with trade to the US West almost exclusively under British jurisdiction, which has in fact become an American outpost on the margins of Western Europe; Europe, and Italy in particular, is therefore called to open its arms to the East, to a China now determined to break into our continent commercially, with particular interest for our nation. The 5G Huawei, the BRI (Silk Road) project will in fact create gigantic development opportunities for Italy and from Italy towards the Levant, with the concrete possibility of creating enormous infrastructural services on ports, railways and connection networks accompanied by integrated logistics and much more.
What can Asia represent for Abruzzo trade?
Abruzzo has always occupied a strategic position for world trade, and is now called to invest in the strengthening of infrastructures to truly make the regional commercial ports real outposts for the Eurasian trading bloc, fully absorbing the advantages which will see a gradual weakening of the States in favor of the galloping development of Beijing.
What would it mean for Abruzzo to play a leading role in the Silk Road? Increase exports to all 68 countries involved, further channeling trade, especially in agro-food and pharmaceutical products.
The opportunities are many and tempting for Abruzzo; however, regional and national institutions are called to take the field in a lucid and far-sighted manner, bringing home economic resources to be reinvested immediately to ensure decades of constant growth.
The time to stand at the window is long over: it's time to get in on the action.
