The poll is part of a survey across Europe including more than 50,000 companies from 23 countries.

Data about exports is positive as well – close to 50% of companies in this country expect that their sales abroad will be up in 2018. Close to 40% of employers believe that employment will increase and this will be due to improved conditions for hiring foreign workers.
