Centro de Documentación de Fundación MAPFRE - A Recovery on the horizon? : annual report on European SMEs 2012-2013

Publication: Brussels : European Commission, 2013Notes: Sumario: 2013 is likely to mark a turning point for the EU SMEs. After five years of an uncertain economic environment, 2013 is expected to be the first year since 2008 with a combined increase in aggregated employment and value-added of EU¿s SMEs. The total employment in the EU SMEs is expected to increase by 0.3% and value-added by 1% as compared to 2011. Preliminary forecasts expect the positive developments further accelerating in 2014. These promising projections are backed up by other positive signals. Over the last three years, an increasing number of Member States have seen their small business sectors returning to an expansion of employment and value-added, or at least a petering out of the decline. If the macroeconomic conditions hold, this development would mark the end of the most challenging crisis the European SMEs have experienced in the recent historyMateria / lugar / evento: Proyecciones Datos macroeconómicos Microeconomía Pequeñas y medianas empresas Empleo Mercado de trabajo Crisis económica Desarrollo económico Perspectivas económicas Estadísticas Unión Europea Otros autores: Gagliardi, Dimitri
