The \u201cTransatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership\u201d (TTIP), the outlook for the eurozone and the G20\u2019s initiatives on international financial stability. These were the key issues discussed at Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi\u2019s meeting today, 5 March 2013, with American economic\u2013financial experts who are members of the International Economic Alliance (IEA). Minister Terzi is in New York on a mission to the United Nations, during which he met UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the President of the General Assembly, Vuk Jeremic, yesterday [4 March].<\/P>

\u201cThe foreign trade component \u2013 deriving from exports, inward investment and tourism flows \u2013 accounts for about a quarter of Italy\u2019s GDP and is crucial to our country\u2019s economic and employment growth\u201d. This was Minister Terzi\u2019s comment at the close of a meeting which, according to sources, gave him an opportunity to reassure his interlocutors as to the political and economic situation in Italy, and most notably the country\u2019s \u201ccapacity for recovery\u201d. <\/P>

The issues addressed by Minister Terzi during the meeting, in which the IEA\u2019s Director, Van McCormick, also took part, included energy, climate change and cyber-security. Issues that are increasingly high on the international agenda and on which Italy continues to provide input and proposals. The Minister underscored the Foreign Ministry\u2019s role as an \u201cEconomic Ministry\u201d engaged in fostering the economic growth and internationalisation of the Italian business and industrial system. <\/P>
