Turnover 2014 expected to increase 2.1%

(ANSA) - Rome, July 24 - Italian business turnover should recover by 2.1% this year but employment will remain negative, with 1% fewer jobs in 2014, a Bank of Italy research survey predicted Thursday.
    Traditional manufacturing industries and the south of Italy will be hit particularly hard by the timid recovery in business orders and continuing decline in employment, according to the central bank's survey of a sample of companies in the manufacturing and service sectors.
