C-Suite Outlook 2022: Economy, Strategy & Finance True

Did you know that six of the top ten things keeping CEOs up at night are economic in nature? The Conference Board's new annual survey of C-suite executives revealed this fascinating insight.

Among economic woes, inflation ranks the highest. This is followed by labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, recession risks, shifting consumer buying behaviors, and global trade disruptions. Most of these worries are directly linked to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which was the number one concern among CEOs. By major region there are some common themes. In the US, labor shortages, rising inflation, and supply chain disruptions were the most disconcerting for CEOs.

In China, covid-19 related disruptions and recession woes topped the list. But rising inflation and global political stability were tied for third. European CEOs are also the most concerned about rising inflation, supply chain disruptions and recession risk.

To discover what else CEOs are thinking and insights for what’s ahead, read the report and return often to see the latest insights from our C-Suite Outlook for 2022.
