Simplicity Nya Europa

A previously divided Europe is getting together. Many countries in Europe are undergoing major political and economic improvements. Simplicity Nya Europa is the fund which brings together all the emerging markets in the "new Europe". The fund was launched in the autumn of 2005.

Opportunities in the New Europe
The potential for growth is large in the eastern parts of Europe and in countries which have recently become EU-members, or which aspire for membership. The cost for labour is usually low, while the educational level is high, which means good quality and profitability for companies operating in the region. Also the adaptation to EU is supposed to lead to an increased flow of goods and services to these regions. Many companies therefore need to be restructured to meet the greater demand, which is resulting in more job opportunities and an increased turnover.
