24 April 2025 - PwC CEO Survey - Eastern Africa Insights
The PwC CEO Survey provides a comprehensive overview of the sentiments and strategies of CEOs across Eastern Africa. This year's survey, titled "From Resilience to Reinvention," polled 169 CEOs in five countries in East Africa. Key findings highlight the increasing importance of generative AI and sustainability. CEOs report early productivity gains from AI and rising payoffs from investments in climate-friendly initiatives. However, the pace of reinvention remains slow, with many leaders struggling to adapt their business models to the rapidly changing environment. This underscores the need for agile decision-making and resource allocation to stay competitive.
