FIAT EXPECTS SHARP 1987 SALES GROWTH
Fiat SpA <FIAT.MI> expects its
consolidated group sales to reach 37,000 to 38,000 billion lire
in 1987 against a provisional 29,020 billion lire announced for
1986, managing director Cesare Romiti said.
    Romiti, speaking at a meeting of industrial managers and
engineering students, said the expected sales growth partly
reflected recent acqusitions such as that of <Alfa-Romeo SpA>.
    Alfa Romeo was acquired late last year and merged with
Fiat's Lancia unit to form a new company, Alfa-Lancia
Industriale Spa <ALFI.MI>.
