Special Report: Businessmen more hopeful than politicians over growth

EurActiv reported that delegates at the European Business Summit heard in Brussels in May 2011 that new data claimed that two-thirds of business leaders are optimistic about prospects for EU growth, though a gloomy political mindset continues to bedevil the EU.

The data, released by consultants Accenture, found that 70% of a poll of 400 leading CEOs were optimistic that the next twelve months would bring increased growth, as compared to 2010.
