Business
We’re used to getting things done quickly. Our legislation is transparent and supportive of business. We have the most competitive and investment-friendly taxation system in Europe. Our national debt is also the lowest in Europe.
And our most valuable asset is our people. We are smart and hard-working. We don’t speak much, but we achieve a great deal. We think before doing and keep our promises. We also speak a large number of languages.
