CATEGORY: OBG CEO Surveys
While the results of the latest OBG Business Barometer: Morocco CEO Survey underscore chief executives’ continued optimism surrounding business conditions in the kingdom, they also highlight key policy areas in need of further improvement. Although it is on the right path, with GDP growth slated to reach 4.4% this year, Morocco needs to undertake a series of reforms to boost its manufacturing industry, recover high levels of liquidity – and thus financial dynamism – and ensure long-term economic success through educational measures to improve its human capital.
Oxford Business Group launches its latest Business Barometer: Mexico CEO Survey at an interesting time, with business leaders anticipating the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the results of the July 2018 Mexican presidential election.
With business leaders anticipating both the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the outcome of the July 2018 Mexican presidential election, the results of OBG’s second Business Barometer: Mexico CEO Survey come at an interesting time. This year, despite persistently high levels of uncertainty influencing the macroeconomic landscape, more than 80% of respondents are positive or very positive about local business conditions, up from 73.5% in 2016, while 72% are likely or very likely to make a significant capital investment in the next 12 months.
