Central European CFOs are unwilling to take risksCentral Europe CFO Programme |
The Deloitte CE CFO Survey is a unique collection of 6 locally tailored reports reflecting the opinions of 265 CFOs of leading companies in the Central European region. The findings are based on the second edition of a Deloitte survey undertaken in January in the region's six largest economies – Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. All the unique reports provide fascinating insights into CFO opinions at a key moment in economic history.
"A vast majority of Polish companies have been less affected by the current economic slowdown than other companies in Europe. Therefore our perception of economic reality is justly optimistic. Polish companies should take this opportunity and try to take decisive steps to win those markets through acquisitions or investments."
Rafał Regulski, Vice President of the Management Board, Finance Director, Alchemia S.A.
