NEW YORK and MONTVALE, N.J., April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Accountants and finance professionals are more confident in the global economy than they have been since Q2 2023. The latest ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) Global Economic Conditions Survey (GECS) saw a moderate increase in confidence to put the index just above its historical average. Add in small increases to the New Orders and Employment indices – both of which are slightly above their averages – and a positive picture emerges of a gradually improving economic outlook. That said, there was a small decline in the Capital Expenditure Index, which remains below average.

Key Points: 
  • That said, there was a small decline in the Capital Expenditure Index, which remains below average.
  • Finance professionals are more confident in the global economy than they have been since Q2 2023.
  • The moderate rise in confidence in Western Europe also suggests that growth may be gradually improving from the weakness of recent quarters.
  • Moreover, the elevated level of concerns about costs suggests that the major central banks should proceed very cautiously with any monetary easing."
