59 percent of CEOs would start their planned investments as soon as possible, but rising commodity prices, trade tensions and climate change are prompting them to be more cautious than before, EY told MTI on Tuesday of its latest survey.

Business leaders are wary of investing, too much external uncertainty

According to the announcement, over the next year, senior management will prioritize deals that improve the company’s operational efficiency (26 percent) and also enforce sustainability (ESG) considerations (20 percent).

Eight out of ten managers (79 percent) have already started or are planning to restructure their supply chains to reduce costs and minimize risk, they said. (MTI)
