Hungarian CEOs Optimistic About State Of The Economy
Hungarian chief executives are optimistic: 81% feel confident about the direction the economy is headed in the next twelve months, consulting firm Stanton Chase said based on a survey of 120 executives. Last year an almost identical share said they were optimistic about the economy.

The survey showed that 90% of respondents considered 2015 a successful, a very successful or at least an acceptable year.

Fully 53% of CEOs expected growth this year in the industrial, technology, information and communications sectors. Forty-four percent expected growth in the consumer goods and services sector and the logistics sector to perform well.

Seventy percent of respondents said they are planning to hire more people for their company. Fully 43% of them would hire specialists but only 15% are looking for manual labourers.
