Most entrepreneurs don’t plan investments in coming months

Approximately 57% of entrepreneurs are not planning any investments in their companies in the coming months and around 56% of them do not plan any changes in their employees’ salaries in the second half of 2019, according to the Busometr mood index of the Association of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP).

The Busometr index for H2 2019 was 48.8 points (down from 55.6 points in H1), which means that entrepreneurs’ moods are getting worse. There is still an optimistic mood in the labor market (57.1 points), but we have seen a major decline in investments (35.4 points). This is the lowest result in the history of the study (since 2011).
