NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — President Trump’s election victory leads to soaring confidence in the global economy, according to a new study by Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm. Conducted in the three weeks immediately following the U.S. election, the survey compares the views of more than 300 global public company CEOs and 380 institutional investors representing approximately $10 trillion USD of company and portfolio value.
“For the first time since Teneo has conducted this survey, we see significant alignment between CEOs and investors on the direction of the global economy, and confidence has never been higher,” said Paul Keary, CEO of Teneo. “Buoyed by the ‘Trump Effect,’ the market expects a resurgence of M&A, increased hiring and greater levels of U.S. and foreign investment. The U.S. will clearly be the beneficiary of much of this positive activity, solidifying its position as the most important investment destination for global businesses.”
“The operating environment has dramatically shifted over the past six months, changing how we think about everything from supply chains to activist investors to AI and ESG,” said Teneo Chairwoman Ursula Burns. “Looking ahead to the next six months, we are helping clients capitalize on this new wave of economic optimism while continuing to navigate key geopolitical, policy and social challenges.”
Key survey findings include:
Macroeconomic Outlook: 32-point year-over-year increase in CEOs who expect the global economy to improve in the first half of 2025
The Trump Effect: Global CEOs and investors are optimistic about the economic impact of a second Trump administration, outweighing concerns about tariffs, geopolitical tensions and trade barriers.
Geopolitics: More than 76% of CEOs and 83% of investors believe that the outcome of global elections in 2024 will improve the global economy and global stability
ESG: Amidst evolving investor and stakeholder expectations, nearly every CEO in the survey (91%) is recalibrating their company’s ESG priorities.
Innovation: The world’s biggest companies are all-in on AI; however, while they are willing to give AI investments time to mature, Wall Street is watching the clock.
Teneo’s Vision 2025 CEO and Investor Outlook Survey was conducted by the firm’s in-house data, insights and analytics team. The survey includes the views of more than 300 global public company CEOs and 380 institutional investors representing approximately $10 trillion USD of company and portfolio value. The CEOs surveyed represent a global distribution of publicly traded companies with a minimum annual revenue of $1 billion USD or greater. Investors surveyed include a global sampling of professional investors in investment banking, institutional investing, venture investing, asset management, private equity and hedge funds. Research was conducted between November 11 and December 3, 2024.
