At the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, attention will be paid to Just Eat Takeaway on Wednesday. The company behind Thuisbezorgd.nl benefited from stringent anti-Corona measures last year and had significantly more sales. Despite Corona’s success, the meal deliverer suffered a year-long loss due to heavy investments in expanding the organization.

The dispute over the vaccine between the United Kingdom and Brussels is also a matter of concern. According to the President of the Council of the European Union, Charles Michel, the British are preventing the export of Corona vaccines, just like the United States. Thus, Michel responded to the European Union’s accusation of vaccine nationalism. The UK and the European Union have been blaming each other for some time about using vaccines. The European Union is receiving a lot of criticism because the British are rushing to vaccinations.
An exceptional year
Topman Jitse Groen of Just Eat Takeaway describes 2020 as an ‘exceptional’ year. As restaurants were forced to close and people were forced to stay home due to the shutdown, food delivery was often done at home. The meal delivery company, which arose last year from the merger between the Dutch website Takeway.com and Britain’s Just Eat, has had to bear many of the costs in connection with the merger. Much money was also invested in the acquisition of the American Grubhub, which is not yet complete. In 2021, the company is counting on further accelerating order growth.
