But the consulting firm also found that half of euro zone businesses are looking to take advantage of the crisis by seeking acquisitions in the 17-currency area.
For Chinese companies, that figure rises to 71 per cent.
Accenture surveyed 450 companies, 96 per cent of which have annual revenues of at least US$1 billion (S$1.22 billion).
