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. Published quarterly by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants), GECS is the largest regular economic survey of accountants carried out globally.

Key Points: 
  • 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.
