THE FIGURES FOR THE FESTIVAL OF ECONOMICS

74 events, 52 speakers and 400,000 people tuned in to live Internet broadcasts, while the web site was accessed one and a half million times on 1 June alone. These are just some of the figures for the 9th edition of the Festival of Economics. They are partial statistics, still to be completed, but they nevertheless give an idea of the extent of the event, not by chance followed by almost a hundred accredited newspapers, with a total of around 360 journalists.-

So here is a summary of some of the data, postponing a more accurate and analytical assessment to a future date. For the moment there is satisfaction that confirmation has been received: the Festival is a very successful event, which arouses the interest of the whole country and also of observers from abroad.
