Nearly 40% of Respondents of Atradius Survey Expect Economic Crisis to End in H1 2010

Recession has had Mixed Impact on Cash Flow

AMSTERDAM, November 25 - 38% of respondents of an Atradius survey looking at the impact of the
recession on business in 20 countries expect the economic crisis to end in
H1 2010 with 45% anticipating a rebound in business within the same time

cautious than, IMF estimates which signal an end of the recession occurring
early in 2010. Despite this, there remain significant concerns about business
failures, particularly in distressed industries and the financial services
