Poland, which historically has had the most optimistic executives of the countries surveyed in Deloitte's Business Sentiment Index, reports a significant fall in sentiment with its composite index now down by 16 points to 118, the same level as when the Index's publication started two years ago, advisory Deloitte has said in a report. The survey shows that 62% of Polish managers expect the economic situation to deteriorate slightly, while 31% of them see no major changes, and 7% expect an improvement. The surveyed was carried out among directors of 185 biggest firms in Poland, the Czech republic, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary, from mid-August to mid-September, 2011. Overall, executives in Central Europe have lost confidence in any sustained recovery in the region due to the European sovereign debt crisis and inertia in the EU, Deloitte concluded. |
