Portugal expects high figure for 2013 textile exports

05/12/2013
Exports from Portugal’s textile sector are on track this year to reach the same high levels as before the start of the economic crisis.

According to João Costa, president of the country’s textile and garment association, the value of Portuguese textile exports this year should be more than EUR 4.3 billion. The last time the industry recorded figures at this level was in 2007, the year before the global economic downturn began.
