92% of businesspeople polled by the National Association of Young Entrepreneurs (ANJE) in February said they were optimistic that the economic situation of the country would improve, reports Hoy newspaper. Today, only 61.3% are optimistic. ANJE explains that the decline in confidence in government policies is the result of the authorities failing to have presented concrete and measurable solutions to leading national problems, such as the Central Bank’s so-called quasi-fiscal debt, the electricity problem, the efficient use of government spending and the struggle against corruption. Seventy-seven percent of businesspeople polled expected interest rates and the exchange rate to increase in the next three months.
