What are your predictions for the luxury
How is Markagain contributing to getting
market in 2016?
capital circulating again?
We are predicting that the luxury market will continue to grow at a rate of around 4 per cent as it did in 2015. The nautical segment is growing even faster, particularly in some non-EU countries.
Thanks to our background and professionalism, Markagain has really earned the respect of both the institutions and clients on the market. That means foreign clients, and their representatives, feel safe and protected, and this attracts foreign capital to Italy.
Which of the sectors you’re involved in is flourishing best?
The nautical sector. At any one time, you’ll find 100 products we’re managing ready for sale. Do you think the yachting sector is getting back on its feet in Italy? Yes, despite all the mistakes that have been made, including political ones, clients are deciding to get back to enjoying the sea and our marvellous coasts, albeit in small craft, by which I mean up to 60’.
