Chambers Ireland will be participating in 27th edition of the annual Eurochambres Economic Survey 2020 (EES).

This qualitative study is based on a series of questions addressed to and answered by over 45,000 companies across the EU. Eurochambres, with the support of its members across Europe, seeks to capture both the expectations of the European business environment and the challenges it faces.  

This year is of particular importance for assessing the major concerns for businesses, as the economy in which we operate has been performing well but has become increasingly volatile.

In order to support these steps, we are honoured to invite you to take part in this year’s survey, which you can access via the link below. The estimated time to complete this survey is no longer than 4 minutes.

Deadline for completion is 30 September 2019. Click here to access the survey. https://www.chambers.ie/policy/eu-policy/eurochambres-economic-survey-2020-ees/
