La grande victoire des Allemands et de Schauble, Varoufakis avait raison.

Quatre entreprises sur 10 envisagent de s’installer ailleurs en raison de la hausse des impots, de l’incertitude administrative, de l’impossibilité d’accéder au crédit, de l’absence de perspectives  etc etc 

The economic situation in Greece remains critical. The Government of Alexis Tsipras proposes another hike in the standard VAT rate from 23% to 24%, further suffocating business activity.

Proof of this is that four out of ten Greek companies contemplate leaving the country, according to a recent survey conducted in late March. The high tax burden is wreaking havoc in many companies. Employers also complain of reduced legal certainty, poor access to cheap funding and the complex Greek bureaucracy.

At the moment, almost 15% of respondents say they have already moved their base of operations abroad, but many more expect to do so in the near future. Companies that decide to emigrate belong to sectors with high added value, such as those related to new technologies and health.

In July 2015 the percentage of companies that wanted to leave the country was 23%. Today the total has nearly doubled and now exceeds 40%.

Pessimism reigns among entrepreneurs, as 56% say that the economic situation will not improve for at least another five years, compared to 4% who thought so in May 2014, shortly before Syriza came to power.

80% of employers indicate that if they could start their new business, they would abroad and not in Greece.
