The economic outlook for the United States is bleak, with more than half of company executives expecting a recession in their own industries, survey shows.
The majority of corporate executives, 57% according to the Conference Board's measure of CEO sentiments, expect inflation will continue and worsen over these few years. Meanwhile, the board's measure for CEO confidence decreased to 42% from the first quarter's numbers which pegged it at 57%. The low outlook readings below 50 are considered negative by researchers of the board.
The Business Council's vice chairman Roger Ferguson said that the negative outlook among executives could be attributed to many economic events like increasing wages, rising prices, inflation, and conflict abroad, among others.Ā Ā
Here are major points and comparisons from the report by the Conference Board:
"The recent survey suggests that this set of circumstances is not likely to get better anytime soon and consequently pressures on the middle line and the bottom line for businesses, pressures on the household sector, pressures at CEO level, and frankly, pressures on the Federal Reserve," said Ferguson.
The recent increase in commodity prices is causing much concern. Gasoline prices in the United States are projected to skyrocket by 25% as warmer weather approaches, and supplies from countries such as Russia become increasingly scarce due to its conflict with Ukraine. Many countries have also banned their exports following the supply chain crisis.
In a recent announcement, India banned its wheat exports following inflation due to a shortage of supply. The 'shocking' announcement was followed by other countries imposing export bans on their respective products as well. The supply of raw materials like oil, maize, sunflower, grains, and fertilizers, has now declined since countries have stopped exporting them. Russia has also restricted Ukraine from making shipments because of its blockade ā Ukraine is a well-known supplier of wheat.
With all of these happening at a time, the market may be sure headed for an upset. However, authorities have assured corporate executives that they are doubling their efforts to address the problem. US President Biden and other department heads are meeting every now and then to come up with solutions to a myriad of problems in the US market.
