What can potential investors in Eastern Europe do to ensure their success today and in the future?

 

In the past three years the Eastern European region has undergone significant change. New EU member countries have vastly broadened the pool of cheap labour. However, because of the huge migration of Eastern workers to Western European countries, together with significant local job growth, the availability of qualified labour in certain areas of Eastern Europe has started to diminish. Concurrently, local salaries in Eastern Europe have started to increase as competition for qualified labour has enabled employees to be more demanding.

 

Despite this economic shift, Eastern Europe continues to be a great place for investments - thanks to its low-cost locations, proximity to Western Europe and skilled workforce. But what do investors need to know?
