Stability and predictability are key preconditions for a well-functioning business environment in every country. Firms and entrepreneurs need to have rules that are fair, well known in advance and that lead to the creation of a competitive business environment. For their adjustment and subsequent adherence, the credibility of public institutions is important at the national and local levels.
A stable and predictable business environment in a country with functioning and trustworthy institutions is a prerequisite for the success of all sectors of the economy, including the business service centre industry.
