A slowdown in trade and manufacturing, geopolitical uncertainty and a drop in foreign direct investment are some of the factors that have impacted the global macroeconomic environment over the past 12 months. PwC’s 23rd Annual Global CEO Survey China Report sheds light on how executives are navigating this environment and their strategies for enhancing growth and profitability.
Please note that since the survey period September to October 2019 was prior to the COVID-19 outbreak in late January 2020, the results do not reflect the CEO sentiments due to the impact of the COVID-19. The survey results are a barometer of the CEO sentiments primarily due to US-China trade tensions, therefore the results should be interpreted in that context.
