CEOs’ concern about a Fed-led recession grew this month after Fed Chair Powell’s remarks to Congress, despite their stable rating of current business conditions. Still, most business chiefs still expect a soft landing.
After record-setting wage growth, a recent poll of chief executives finds a sharply decreasing appetite for raises—no matter what the talent market brings.
Almost all the CEOs we surveyed in May say they will work in at least partially hybrid mode for the rest of the year—versus just 7 percent who said they’d be fully remote.
Amid historic inflation, choked supply chains, rising interest rates and an unending battle for talent, CEOs are increasingly worried about the year ahead.
More CEOs say the war in Ukraine has affected their companies’ cybersecurity than anything else, and a whopping 85 percent of them see it as a prolonged challenge, “with no end in sight.”
Inflation, supply chain snarls and increasing concern about a recession push CEO confidence to its lowest level since the Clinton v. Trump election. “The Russian invasion of Ukraine became the tipping point.”
Chief Executive’s March CEO Confidence Index poll shows equal proportions of CEOs now forecasting improving and deteriorating business conditions for the year ahead.
Chief Executive’s February CEO Confidence Index poll shows a record number of CEOs plan to increase their hiring over the coming year, but, their confidence in future conditions dropped on worries over interest rates, inflation and instability.
Chief Executive’s January CEO Confidence Index poll shows growing CEOs optimism about future business conditions, with their rating hitting a six-month high.
Chief Executive’s November CEO Confidence Index shows optimism among America’s CEOs on the decline, as their rating of business conditions one year out drops to two-year low.
