22nd Global CEO Survey: CEOs' Curbed Confidence Spells Caution

In this year’s global CEO survey, the prevailing sentiment is one of caution in the face of increasing uncertainty. Unlike the past year, CEOs are less bothered by the broad, existential threats like terrorism and climate change, and are more ‘extremely concerned' about factors that affect the ease of doing business in the markets where they operate. As CEOs look inside their own enterprises for growth opportunities, they’re taking a reality check, looking inside-out for growth, and minding the information and skills gap as they explore their business strategies to navigate their way forward.
