Fragile CEO confidence underscores the challenges
ahead—just 28% of all APEC business leaders
remain ‘very confident’ about revenue growth
over the next 12 months. There’s no change in
this key measure of CEO optimism from last year’s
survey. Moreover, CEOs continue to grapple with
operational pressures: for example, just 14% say
they’ve become ‘more confident’ that they’re able
to forecast compliance costs and tax liabilities
than they were at this time last year.
