CEO confidence surges in second quarter
NEW YORK — The Conference Board Measure of CEO Confidence, which had increased in the first quarter of 2009, surged in the second quarter.
The survey of 100 business leaders in a wide range of industries improved to 55, up from 30 last quarter. A reading of more than 50 points reflects more positive than negative responses.
“CEOs are considerably more optimistic than last time about the short-term outlook, however, their assessment of current conditions, while also improved, suggests the economy remains weak,” says Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center.
