15th Annual Global CEO Survey - 3rd South African edition

The 15th Annual Global CEO Survey was launched at at the World Economic Forum in Davos by Dennis Nally at a live press launch. The report saw a total of 1258 CEOs from 60 countries share their opinions on a range of strategic business issues.

The 3rd South African edition contains the views of 32 South African CEOs from large publicly-listed and privately-owned companies across industries.

Despite some gloominess regarding the global economy, confidence among South African CEOs remains positive. Not only are South African CEOs optimistic about their companies’ growth prospects over the coming 12 months, but even more so over the next three years. CEOs remain focussed in their approach to dealing with a host of challenges and uncertainties. Foremost of these is the availability of key skills, regulatory changes and concerns over uncertain or volatile growth, particularly in relation to the Eurozone crisis.
