According to a recent study by ACCA and IMA, finance professionals are feeling optimistic about the global economy. The Global Economic Conditions Survey (GECS) showed a significant increase in confidence, with indicators for new orders and employment also trending positively. This suggests an improving outlook, despite concerns about increasing operating costs.
Jonathan Ashworth, Chief Economist at ACCA, emphasized that while the findings are encouraging, there are still risks and challenges facing the global economy. Growth is expected to be below average in 2024, and concerns about rising costs suggest that central banks should proceed cautiously with any monetary easing. Despite the positive trends, worries about increasing operating costs persist, with Africa, Asia Pacific, and South Asia particularly impacted.
The study also identified talent scarcity and cybersecurity risks as major concerns for businesses worldwide. With these challenges in mind, finance professionals must remain vigilant and adaptable in order to navigate the ever-changing global economy.
