Welcome to the 3rd edition of the ranking of Central Europe’s 500 largest companies; an essential tool for understanding the wider dynamics at play across the region. With contributions from business leaders and economists, as well as in-depth analysis of the region, industries and individual countries, this indispensable resource for decision makers with an interest in the region, puts the effects of the global economic situation into context for Central Europe.
Despite several forecasts and hopes that the Central European economies would not be seriously affected by the credit crisis and associated recession, it has hit the region, impacting individual economies in a myriad of ways. The recovery, although still uncertain, will also vary from country to country reflecting the strength of the underlying economies and their fiscal and economic policies.
These are testing times for organisations of all sizes and in all sectors and Deloitte Central Europe remains as determined as ever to help its clients navigate through the challenges and opportunities and to support them as they emerge stronger.
