Usage Note

Economicamente modifies adjectives, verbs, or entire clauses: economicamente svantaggiato (economically disadvantaged), vivere economicamente (to live frugally). It can mean both 'from an economic standpoint' and 'in an inexpensive way', so context is essential to distinguish the two senses. The adverb is invariable.

Examples

"La regione è economicamente sviluppata."

Natural Translation

The region is economically developed.
