Just Eat Takeaway orders rise for first time in 4.5 years

Just Eat Takeaway has recorded its first rise in order volume in over four years following strategic investments by parent company Prosus. The firm reports growth in its user base and plans to continue investing in technology and marketing to build on these recent gains.

Just Eat Takeaway has reported an increase in order volume for the first time in four and a half years. Prosus CEO Fabricio Bloisi confirmed the positive trend in a letter to shareholders, noting that the company had previously experienced a nine percent decline in orders when they took control last December. The turnaround is attributed to strategic investments in technology, marketing, and initiatives focused on customer retention.

Prosus, which is listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange, intends to continue its support and investment in the food delivery service. The company reports that its user base is currently expanding and expects this momentum to result in further growth over time. Founded in 2000 by Jitse Groen, Just Eat Takeaway became a global leader in the sector before Groen stepped down as CEO earlier this year. The company is now working on further operational improvements to sustain this upward trajectory.

Netherlands breaks even after banking crisis: ABN Amro rescue yields another 3.5 billion for treasury

The Dutch government is nearing a break-even point on its 2008 rescue of ABN Amro following the sale of a new 10.2 percent stake for an estimated 3.5 billion euros. This latest move leaves the state with a 10.5 percent interest in the bank, having nearly recovered the original multi-billion euro investment made during the financial crisis.
