Business is unexpectedly good. But after dark Covid 19 times, there are “storms on the horizon” that require companies to adjust their strategy. This is how the EU Chamber of Commerce in China (EUCCC) sums up the findings of its member survey presented today, Tuesday. With the world still reeling from the pandemic, the relatively optimistic business expectations-while complaining about old and new problems-are exceedingly surprising: 68 percent of respondents expect positive developments in their industry, up from 45 percent in the pre-Corona year of 2019. The last time companies were this optimistic was in 2014.
