CEOs more confident about global recovery but supply chain risks weigh


Other findings in the outlook stated that 70 per cent of CEOs faced increased demands from stakeholders for more reporting and transparency on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues and 81 per cent believed that the government's stimulus would be required if all businesses are to reach net zero.

KUALA LUMPUR: A global survey conducted by KPMG International has found that 59 percent of chief executive officers (CEOs) in the Asia Pacific (APAC) are now more confident about global economic recovery compared to earlier this year.

However, they are also increasingly concerned about the risk to their supply chains, according to the KPMG 2021 CEO Outlook, which surveyed over 1,300 global CEOs about their strategies and outlook over a three-year horizon.
