Dear Sirs and Madams,

Day for day advent calendar doors are being opened up, one after the other. It's that time of the year again. Christmas is fast approaching. The advent season is a time of peace and reflection.

2006 has been a good year. Finally, after years of recession and stagnation in "old Europe", the upswing is plain to see. The economy is on the roll again. And in "new Europe", i.e. in Poland, Rumania, etc., the growth rates have been spectacular.

So far in 2006 I have conducted 294 personal talks with entrepreneurs at their companies. It is plain to see that we are leaving our fears for the future further and further behind us. We can feel that things are improving. And we are investing again. Currently with Christmas approaching there is a strong increase in consumption. Be it in Warsaw, Berlin, Vienna or Bucharest—our economies are improving from month to month. Black as a colour is outmoded.

Let's concentrate on the positive things in our countries. There's more fun to be had when we are braver and more confident. We believe in it: Things are improving. Europe has a future. We are rolling up our sleeves and getting down to work.

I wish you a peaceful and wonderful Christmas season in the company of your loved ones. May the new year 2007 bring all of us fortune, success and good health. As for the world let us hope for a little more peace — especially in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Sudan and the Middle East. Let us pray for a more peaceful future.

Merry Christmas.
 

Yours sincerely,

Heinz Jäger
- CEO, JP Mergers & Finance AG -
