Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
Italian term or phrase: valori di economie
More from a sometimes oddly worded annual report:

L’efficacia organizzativa si è esplicitata con rilevanti valori di economie nell’acquisto dei materiali diretti ed indiretti, nello sfruttamento delle risorse produttive interne ed esterne e nel sovra-assorbimento delle risorse indirette ed amministrative della Società.

I think what they mean is that they are making efficient use of financial resources and efficient use of production resources, but would like some confirmation and/or other opinions.

economies


Explanation:
I would say with "significant economies", and leave out "valori". It seems they're talking about economies of scale and economies of scope.
