  • Business leaders in the Channel Islands are more optimistic about global economic growth compared with their international counterparts, according to a survey. Findings from PwC's Annual Global CEO Survey show about 12% of bosses believe their businesses will not be viable in 10 years, compared with a global average of 40%.

The article from MSN discusses a recent survey conducted by Grant Thornton, which highlights a significant level of optimism among U.S. business leaders regarding the economic outlook for 2024. Despite ongoing economic challenges like inflation and high interest rates, 87% of the surveyed leaders expressed confidence in their company's growth prospects for the next year. This optimism is driven by expectations of a soft economic landing, where inflation decreases without triggering a recession. Key factors contributing to this positive outlook include anticipated revenue growth, plans for increased capital investments, and a focus on innovation and technology adoption. However, the survey also notes concerns about workforce issues, with many leaders planning to increase wages and invest in employee training to address labor shortages and skill gaps.
