The Netherlands Norway Poland eMarketer has no testing technique to protect, no research bias, and no Russia clients to please.

Population and Economy Economy, Infrastructure, Users eCommerce The European economy grew steadily throughout 2000. GDP has increased eAdvertising at a rate of 3.6% according to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and 3.4% eFinance according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development eWireless Denmark (OECD). A central question is whether comparable growth rates can be Finland sustained in 2001. France The US is entering a period of slower economic growth that will put a Germany damper on European economic activity, resulting in a European growth Italy rate of approximately 3% in 2001, according to both PwC and the OECD. If, The Netherlands Norway as some economists fear, the US economy experiences a more severe Poland recession, or if oil prices rise and European business confidence falters, the Russia European economy may grow even more slowly, as the low estimates from Spain PwC indicate. Sweden An economic slowdown in Europe would hinder the growth of the United Kingdom Index of Charts region’s internet economy, drying up venture capital, making businesses more cautious about investing in new online ventures, and causing consumers to delay purchases of computers and internet-enabled devices.
