Some people think buying local jeopardizes other regions. This is not true. In the end, the same amount of money that is entering the region, will still be spent in other regions. The only difference is that, before it left the region, it organized production and consumption in the region better. Making a more intensive use of the money available can make the regions flourish. It can improve the national economy and in the end the global economy. Resilience is about creating more choices, not to reduce options. In fact, the higher the level of economic activity. trade and production in a region, the more it contributes to the country’s tax income.

Clearly, while the money circulates and serves the region, it cannot leave for the financial markets to be used for non-productive speculation.
