Micro firms positive about 2015

Half of Polish microenterprises intend to increase their employment this year, 66 percent of them predict that turnover will increase and 75 percent is planning investments, according to a survey by Idea Bank. "Microentrepreneurs are in a very good shape now.  Their prognosis regarding an increase of turnover and the will to invest and to employ are at a very good level. The research we have been conducting every quarter for over four years indicated that entrepreneurs are optimistic about their businesses," Dariusz Makosz, a board member of Idea Bank said. As many as 30 percent of surveyed entrepreneurs expect economic growth acceleration this year, 47 percent of them expect the same pace as in 2014. Only 7 percent of the respondents predict that their turnover will decline this year. Now, 75 percent of microenterprises want to invest, compared with the beginning of 2013, when it was just 40 percent.
