Looking at the next three years, leaders cite complex and incoherent regulation as the number one risk factor holding back Europe’s competitiveness.
In autumn 2023, The Conference Board Measure of CEO Confidence™ for Europe by ERT plunged back into negative territory to 42. Only six months ago confidence had appeared to be stabilizing at a low, but positive 53. The current survey was in the field from September 26 to October 11. A reading above 50 reflects more positive than negative responses.
CEOs in our report raise alarm that, for the foreseeable future, complex and incoherent regulation will have a detrimental impact on Europe’s global competitiveness and the majority are pessimistic about policymakers’ ambition to restore the EU’s regulatory coherence over the next three years. Moreover, an overwhelming 70% of CEOs are not confident that Europe’s administrative processes enable physical infrastructure projects needed for achieving its climate targets by 2030.
