Fifty-seven percent of North American CFOs rate current economic conditions as good or very good — up from 34% last quarter — according to a new third-quarter survey.
That’s the highest mark since the first quarter of last year when 64% of CFOs were optimistic about the economy.
Deloitte’s 2023 Q3 CFO Signals survey, conducted in August, used responses from 116 CFOs — about three-fourths from public companies. In all, 85% of the companies have annual revenue above $1 billion, including 42% with revenue greater than $5 billion.
The survey also found that CFOs are optimistic about their companies' financial prospects and expectations for year-over-year growth. See more findings.
