Global CEO confidence is on the rise, reported the
October 2010 YPO Global Pulse survey, following a dip in
confidence in July 2010. The confidence index rose 2.1 points to
61.9, rebounding to its April 2010 levels, which was the highest
confidence has been since YPO began measuring sentiment in
July 2009.
Every region reported increases except MENA, which
decreased 1.8 points, and Asia, where confidence remained the
same and continues to be the world’s most optimistic area.
Australasia saw the largest jump, where economic confidence
rose more than 9 points to 64.9. The European Union has the
weakest confidence for the fourth straight quarter.

The emerging markets are the most bullish overall about
future sales growth, job creation and capital spending.
At the same time, in the United States, Canada, Australia and
the EU, a rosy sentiment about the economy looking six months
ahead was significantly more widespread than the previous
quarter.
Globally, respondents expect to cautiously add more jobs in
anticipation of higher future sales (37.5 percent expect to add
jobs while 7 percent expect to subtract some over the next
12 months), although expected sales growth continues to be
more widespread than expected job creation (nearly 65 percent
expect sales to be at least 10 percent higher this time next year).
