Trade Surplus For United States With Italy Grows
The twelve months ending December 1917 saw US imports into Italy valued at 419,034,486 dollars, rising to 492,145,797 dollars for the year ending December 1919. US goods sent to Italy increased by 73,111,311 dollars, while Italy sent 24,540,022 and 36,480,807 dollars respectively. The strong US trade balance explains the Italian lira’s unfavorable market rate. In February 1919, New York district imports from Italy were 1,134,068 dollars, down 584,720 from February 1918, while exports to Italy reached 24,480,130 dollars, up from 13,248,828 dollars.
