Dutch businesses much more optimistic about recovery, growth

NL Times  

Businesses owners in the Netherlands and worldwide are much more optimistic now than they were a year ago. The vast majority expect the coming period to bring economic growth, both in general and for their own company, according to the annual survey business consultancy PWC conducts among board chairpersons, NOS reports. This year PWC surveyed the leaders of 5 thousand companies worldwide, including 141 in the Netherlands, ranging from listed companies to family businesses. "Corona has led companies to discover that employees are vulnerable, that their resilience is being tested, that people need creativity and connectedness," Velthuijsen said to the broadcaster. "Companies are willing to focus on combating climate change, but they expressly demand that the government makes scaling up possible," Velthuijsen said, using electric driving as an example.
