High inflation and investment costs hinder investment - GUS

The Central Statistical Office (GUS) has identified high inflation and elevated implementation costs as the primary obstacles restricting investments in the current year. GUS reports that businesses in the construction, service, and retail sectors, among others, point to high inflation as a major barrier.

Meanwhile, industrial processing units primarily cite high implementation costs. Although these challenges persist, there has been a slight decline in the percentage of businesses mentioning them compared to previous surveys conducted in May.
