15th Annual Global CEO Survey

Nearly half (48%) of the 1258 CEOs polled worldwide believe the global economy will decline even further in the next 12 months, according to PwC’s 15th Annual Global CEO Survey. Just 15% said the global economy will improve during 2012. However, nearly three times as many CEOs are confident in their own companies’ growth prospects for the next 12 months than in the outlook for the global economy, suggesting CEOs believe they have learned how to manage through difficult and volatile economic times.

  • 16 % are very confident about their company’s growth this year
  • 67 % are concerned about energy and material costs
  • 76 % are at least somewhat concerned about a protracted economic recession
  • 41 % plan to increase headcount this year
