CEOs are ending the year 2020 on a low note as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to impose unrelenting challenges on both the domestic and global economies, exerting incessant strain on businesses going forward.

CEOs have grown even more cautious lately as global and domestic economic uncertainties continued to cloud both consumer and business sentiments, slowing business trajectories from hiring to investment going forward.

2016 has been a challenging year for CEOs as lackluster global growth and geo-political developments impacted and will continue to pose downside risks to the Malaysian economy and their firms. Reflecting this is the latest Vistage-MIER CEO Confidence Index which, at 72.9, lost 5.3 points quarter-on-quarter, its twelfth consecutive stay below the 100-point threshold level of confidence. The lack of faith amongst the CEOs looks likely to continue into early 2017 as well, as CEOs brace for a more cautious and pragmatic outlook for their firms going forward.

Confidence among CEOs continued to be muted as fragility in the domestic and global economies remained unabated, clouding their business prospects going forward. Reflecting this is the Vistage-MIER CEO Confidence Index which stood at 65.3 points in 4Q2015, almost on par with the prior quarter’s 65.1 which was the lowest since 1Q2009.

CEOs’ confidence in the Malaysian economy is dropping, and they are now looking at the prospects of their firms more closely than before.

This can be deduced from the latest Vistage-MIER CEO Confidence Index which plummeted to a two-year low of 87.3 points in 4Q2013, far below the optimism threshold level of 100 points.
