BusinessEurope’s 2025 report.
We republish the analysis of the Bulgarian Industrial Association. At the tripartite social summit held a few days ago, BusinessEurope presented its latest “Reform Barometer” to EU leaders. This report analyses Europe’s global competitiveness performance based on key indicators such as public finances, business environment and labour market. During the presentation, BusinessEurope President Fredrik Persson said:
“Our latest Reform Barometer reveals serious concerns among the European business community about the investment climate in the EU. A staggering 82% of respondents believe that the attractiveness of the EU for investment has worsened or remained unchanged over the last 12 months. Furthermore, an overwhelming 85% of our national member federations believe that the deregulation agenda of the new US administration will further drive investment away from Europe. The EU must act urgently to reduce the regulatory burden on companies and strengthen its attractiveness as a place to invest.”
