Stagnation in company start-ups

Some 123,500 people started a new company in the Netherlands last year, a marginal increase on 2010, according to ING economists on Thursday.


Declining economic confidence in the second half of the year led to a sharp drop in start-ups in the last six months, compared with 2010, the ING economic bureau said.
The ING economists expect the stagnation in start-ups to continue this year.
