Forrester’s 2025 Budget Planning Guides: Leaders Across Functions, Industries, And Geographies Intend To Spend More In 20259.9.2024 12:00:00 EEST | Press release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2025 Budget Planning Guides, leaders intend to spend more in 2025 after a year of restrained budget expectations. Despite high interest rates, tight labour markets, and the uncertainty of US elections, 91% of global tech decision-makers and 87% of global marketing decision-makers are planning for budget increases in the year ahead. Pressure to optimise spending and drive efficiencies remains a focus for organisations, however. As a result, to derive the most value from increased budgets, leaders must invest in cross-functional efforts that have an outsized impact on their firm’s growth. Forrester’s Budget Planning Guides provide data-backed recommendations for technology and security, B2B and B2C marketing, customer experience (CX), digital strategy, and sales and revenue operations leaders to make sound planning and budgeting decisions for the coming year. The guides also include spending intention benchmarks and recommendations for areas to exp
New KPMG Report Shows Illicit Cigarette Consumption Still at Worrying Levels in the European Union, With Organized Crime Moving Operations Closer to Western Countries9.9.2024 11:00:00 EEST | Press release

(PMI) (NYSE: PM) today warns about the high levels of contraband and counterfeit cigarettes in the European Union (EU) year over year, with 35.2 billion illicit cigarettes consumed in the region in 2023, accounting for 8.3% of total consumption in the EU, an increase of 0.1 percentage point compared to 2022. PMI praises European law enforcement agencies for their continued crackdown on criminal networks that profit from the illicit tobacco trade, and calls on regulators to advance a sensible, data-driven policy approach that puts consumers—and public health—front and center and that effectively addresses the challenges posed by the millions of adult smokers who are turning to the black market rather than quitting or, for those who do not quit, switching to smoke-free products. The results of the 2023 KPMG annual study on illicit cigarette consumption, commissioned by Philip Morris Products SA, revealed that the illicit market in the EU continues to be a
