The impact of the mafiosi on economic activity shows up in the data on FDI in Southern Italy – while FDI in Italy is fairly low by European standards (about 40% below comparable regions), it is abysmally low in Southern Europe, which despite accounting for 7% of manufacturing, and more than half of the population attracts just 0.2% of Italian FDI. 

Traduciamo a spanne: l'impatto della mafia nell'attività economica nel Sud Italia rende drammaticamente problematico l'investimento estero in quelle regioni tanto che il FDI conta solo per lo 0.2% dell'intero investimento estero in Italia.
