Optimistic business expectations

Entrepreneurs expect an increase in the volume of production of goods and services, and are also positive about the development of enterprises. Businesses of all areas of activity and the size of the vast majority of areas expect improvement.
 
The business also lowered its forecasts for headcount reductions and expects future labor costs per employee to rise over the next 12 months.
 
The key factors for optimism are the restoration of the energy system, the gradual revival of domestic demand and the strengthening of the hryvnia exchange rate.
