Milan, 25 July (LaPresse) – The possible introduction of 15% tariffs by the United States on imports of European goods, including Italian goods, could generate an estimated total economic impact of around 10 billion euros. This is according to the Unimpresa Study Centre, based on data on Italian exports to the US, which exceeded €66 billion in 2024. The sectors most exposed are mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, fashion, agri-food, transport and luxury goods, with possible repercussions in terms of competitiveness and company margins. However, the scenario is not without alternative outlets. Italian companies, backed by the recognised quality of Made in Italy, are already working on geographical diversification strategies to strengthen their presence in Asia, Latin America, Africa and emerging markets such as India and Mexico. At EU level, measures to rebalance trade and open new commercial channels are being considered.
