Business Sentiment IndexDo great minds think alike? |
Ivica Krešić, Deloitte Croatia says:
“The credit availability is generally higher among companies with positive financial prospects. This correlation between credit availability and financial prospects is most evident in Croatia, Poland and Slovakia, which may suggest bank credit policies in these countries are slightly more related to companies’ actual financial prospects.”
Cautious optimism is the heartening finding of Deloitte's first Business Sentiment Index – a research-based analysis of the opinions and predictions of Chief Executive Officers of the largest companies within six countries of Central Europe.
The index aims to provide a regular barometer of business sentiment in the region and provide insightful forecasts from those who influence not only their company's performance but also that of their local economies. Deloitte will be publishing the index regularly in 2009/10 as this is of particular interest as we start to think seriously about individual country's strategies for recovery and the significance of assistance from the EU and inclusion in the Eurozone for many of the countries in Central Europe.
