Boom Town. In the annual survey of the CEO:s of the 300 largest companies in Iceland, conducted by the business magazine Frjáls Verslun, optimism about the future is striking. 63 per cent of them believe that the economic growth in 2005 will be 4 per cent or higher. 50,5 per cent believe that company profits will rise in 2005 and 74 per cent think that foreign investment will increase over the next five years. This is the result of market-economic reform. Thus replies from business leaders in Sweden would unfortunately look very different.
