Launched in the fall of 2002, Chief Executive’s CEO Confidence Index is America’s largest monthly survey of chief executives. Each month, we survey CEOs across corporate America, at organizations of all types and sizes, to compile our CEO Confidence Index data. We ask the same three questions regarding their confidence in current business conditions, future business conditions and their revenue and investment forecast for the next 12 months. The results are released each month on ChiefExecutive.net and reported on by TV and media outlets throughout the world, including Bloomberg Intelligence and FactSet Research Systems.
CEO confidence in business conditions 12 months out declined in October, giving back all of September’s gains when a stock market rally had given hope the Fed would moderate its tightening.
After months of continuous decline, Chief Executive’s leading indicator of CEO sentiment rose for a second consecutive month in September—adding another 2 percent to August’s 14 percent rebound.
Chief Executive Group recently asked hundreds of CEOs and CFOs to share their strategies for navigating the current environment. Here’s where they said they’re focusing energy and resources for the next few months of uncertainty.
