CEOs' curbed confidence spells caution: 22nd Annual Global CEO Survey
Last year, our survey revealed record-breaking CEO optimism. This year, chief executives tell a different story. Trade conflicts, political upset, and a projected slowdown in global economic growth have increased uncertainty and decreased confidence in revenue prospects. Explore the strategies organisations are using to navigate this new environment.
Key findings from CEOs in Czech Republic
CEOs of the most significant companies in the Czech Republic feel briefly optimistic, yet they are concerned about the further development in the upcoming years, in particular considering foreign market development. Up to 82% of CEOs believe that the local economy will grow this year or develop steadily; however, a 53% majority expects the speed to slow down in the medium-term horizon.
By contrast, CEOs are optimistic with respect to the management of their own companies, although less optimistic than in the past. Three quarters (75%) of them expect their companies to grow this year; even two more percent expect the growth in medium-term horizon. Nevertheless, according to last year’s survey, short-term and medium-term yield growth was expected by approximately 90% of the CEOs. This fact originates from the 10th anniversary survey of PwC consulting company conducted among 129 Czech CEOs.
