PwC Philippines’ Post

I have only just seen this PwC report that they released a month ago on East African CEO's - worth a read: PwC released its 27th Annual Global CEO Survey which polled 4,702 CEOs in 105 countries and territories from 2 October through 10 November 2023. From an East Africa perspective 231 interviews were conducted. 70% of East Africa’s CEOs indicated they are optimistic in their local territory’s growth prospects over the next 12 months. This can be attributed to the uptick in infrastructure investment in the region, recovery of tourism and economic diversification. CEOs in Eastern Africa also have a positive sentiment pertaining to their long term business viability, with 55% being confident that their business models will remain viable for more than ten years, if they continue to operate on their current path.   https://lnkd.in/eCtfZ-kC
