Italy's northeast is leading
Italy's hoped-for return to less-than-anaemic growth with GDP
rising 1.4% there last year, ISTAT said Tuesday.
Growth was 0.7% in the northwest, the stats agency said.
It was also 0.7% in central Italy.
In the poorer south growth was just 0.3%.
Average national growth last year was 0.8%, ISTAT said.
Per capita GDP "sees the northwest at the top of the
standings," ISTAT said.
This was more than 36,000 euros a head.
It was almost double that in the south, around 19,000 euros,
the stats agency said.
