NEW YORK and MONTVALE, N.J., April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- While the Q1 2023 Global Economics Conditions Survey (GECS) shows confidence lower than a year ago, it rose for the third consecutive quarter as fears fade over the prospects of a recession in 2023.

NEW YORK and MONTVALE, N.J., April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- While the Q1 2023 Global Economics Conditions Survey (GECS) shows confidence lower than a year ago, it rose for the third consecutive quarter as fears fade over the prospects of a recession in 2023.
And although new orders have flatlined this quarter, the survey showed improvements in both employment and capital expenditure (capex).
It is curious that this has not yet had a material impact on financing conditions and corporates' capex and hiring intentions.
But monetary policy works with long and variable lags, which suggests that this could still become a problem later in the year.
