KPMG CEO Outlook 2019 on ANT1

Nick Vouniseas, Senior Partner, KPMG in Greece presents key findings to ANT1 News in the light of the press conference for the KPMG’s 2019 Global CEO Outlook.

CEOs are faced with a stark choice. In the face of unparalleled environmental, economic and technological change, they are looking to grow their businesses by creating the organizational agility to disrupt existing business models and challenge long-held market orthodoxies.

According to the fifth KPMG International Global CEO Outlook, just over half of CEOs are confident they will succeed but are realistic, with 53 percent projecting cautious three-year growth of up to 2 percent (down from 55 percent in 2018). As with 2018, they are also maintaining a positive three-year growth outlook for the global economy, although this has slightly fallen from 67 to 62 percent over the last 12 months. This confidence is also shown by their commitment to hire, with 36 percent of CEOs projecting to add more than six percent to their workforce in the next three years.

For the second year KPMG issuing a Greek perspective of the data to showcase the challenges and aspects of Greek CEOs compared to the global finding. Some 50 Greek CEOs participated in the survey, double the number involved in 2018, to share their perspectives on their company and local and global economic challenges and opportunities.
