CONFIDENCE RETURNS

Notwithstanding the continued closure of international borders and restrictions on inter state travel to curb the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, CEOs are looking more confident now than they did a year ago. Reflecting this is the latest Vistage MIER CEO Confidence Index which rose 28.4 points from the prior quarter to 105.4, its highest reading since 3Q2018. Thanks to higher domestic demand and exports, CEOs’ businesses are finally turning the corner as the Malaysian economy recorded a year on year contraction of 0.5% in 1Q2021, a sign of recovery from a decrease of 3.4 per cent in 4Q2020 with improvement noted in all economic sectors and beating market expectations of a 1.9% year on year decline.
