PwC Pulse Survey: PwC

PwC Pulse Survey

Real time surveys. Business insights.

What is Pulse? Companies are pursuing growth in a constantly changing and volatile business landscape. There’s no go-to playbook for executives. But you’re not alone. Other C-level executives and corporate board members are finding their way, too. Tapping into this collective intelligence can help you anticipate what’s next, see how you measure up and spark new ideas for growth. That’s what PwC’s Pulse Survey program is all about. We regularly engage functional leaders from finance, marketing, human capital, technology, operations, risk and tax, as well as board members and CEOs, on the pressing issues, including their outlook on the business environment, new technologies and much more.

Our latest Pulse Survey reveals uncertainty regarding economic, political and regulatory risks that could affect businesses. Despite lower interest rates, executives surveyed see a difficult business environment in the near term, with 61% seeing a potential recession in the next six months. Mixed economic data, geopolitical tensions, a slowing labor market and consumers still facing high costs contribute to this outlook.

While most executives surveyed are planning to continue investing in key areas of business, they’re also concerned about policies from both candidates. Nearly three quarters (71%) agree that post-election trade and tax policies will hurt US competitiveness.

Leading a company isn’t easy in a world of uncertainty, complexity and risk.
