Geopolitical tensions affect more than half of entrepreneurs

More than half of Dutch entrepreneurs experience hindrance from geopolitical unrest. This is evident from data from IO+, which indicates a link between international tensions and business operations. According to the source, this is not only about direct trading partners in conflict areas, but also about broader economic uncertainty.

The impact, according to IO+, is mainly seen in caution regarding investments and strategic choices. Entrepreneurs would more often respond cautiously to opportunities that arise, out of fear of sudden changes in the global playing field. How long this influence will last is unclear.

The source does not mention specific sectors or business sizes that are particularly vulnerable. However, it is emphasized that the degree of exposure to international markets plays a role. So far, there is no concrete picture of the financial consequences for the Dutch business community.
