Re: Principal payment vs. Extra payment? When you get any loan, most of your extra payments will be applied to the principal. Certainly read your loan docs to be sure. But making extra payments will certainly cut your interest expense and you'd pay it off much sooner too. Using your example, I'll assume that your monthly payment is approx.
Italy has a variety of natural resources such as coal, zinc, potash, marble, barite, pumice, asbestos, fluorspar, mercury, feldspar, pyrite, natural gas and crude oil reserves. The Italian government has complete control of its mineral industry.
Italy's natural resources are limited. Only about 20 percent of the land considered adequate for farming is level. Italian farmers have terraced hillsides for gardens and small fields. Many farms, though too small to be considered worth farming in other countries, are worked to feed the farmers' families. Resources for industry are equally scarce.
