Southern Italy grew more than the
centre-north of the country in 2016, with its GDP rising 1%,
compared to 0.8% for the more prosperous regions higher up on
the map, according to details of Svimez's annual report given in
advance of release by the industrial development association.
However, the situation is set to be reversed this year, with the
south growing 1.1% and the centre-north's GDP rising 1.4%,
Svimez said. The association forecasts growth of 0.9% and 1.2%
for the south and the centre-north respectively in 2018.
