Italy's food, fashion sectors hold biggest investment appeal

(ANSA) - Rome, April 16 - Italy's food and fashion industries are among the sectors that appeal most to foreign investors, Ernst & Young Italia CEO Donato Iacovone said Thursday.
    "Expo is welcome for this reason," continued Iacovone in reference to the food-themed Universal Exposition in Milan that kicks off on May 1 and will be an important showcase for traditional Italian produce. In the Mediterranean area as a whole, the sectors that will drive growth in the near future are "telecommunications and media, which are set to converge increasingly, health due to the ageing population and new technologies allowing the chronically ill to be treated at home," he said.
