Hmmm we should also try to look for more trading partners outside Europe.

Americans will buy anything. They have lots of credit cards.

It would have been more interesting if the actual volume of trade was mentioned, along with the possible change in the prices of exports.

[Queen B]

The same allies you bankrolled. I can't blame them. :):thumb001: I also think that we should look at Asia and at the America's again since we used to do so during our very best days (Golden Age) so we might just as well do it again. Europe is, and has always been, a snakepit that we tried to stay clear off.
The same allies that never supported in a first place.I can't blame us, either :coffee:
Don't make me start again, puh-lease Tuan.

The article doesn't have numbers for every single country,or very detailed things on everything, but I ll post all that are mentioned, and some more if I make a new research.

US, from 97 million € -> 175 million
China from 21 million (last year same dates) -> 55 millions

Whatever someone can produce and export, is good.
No matter if its Feta, or olive oil, or cement.

Very, very far from having a real industry... unless you consider producing feta from sheep and olive oil from olive trees a real industry.

We have real industry.
We don't have technology industry if this is what you want to say (cars, automotive, gadget stuff )
