The 12th Global Capital Confidence Barometer finds the global M&A market maintaining the positive momentum that developed during 2014. For the first time in five years, more than half of executives surveyed are planning acquisitions in the next 12 months, as deal pipelines continue to expand.
Over eighty percent of executives view the global economy as improving according the 12th edition of the Capital Confidence Barometer, a bi-annual survey of more than 1,600 executives, conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit on behalf of EY.
This report summarises the results of the latest survey, gauges corporate confidence in the economic outlook and identifies boardroom trends and practices in the way companies manage their Capital Agendas — EY’s framework for strategically managing capital.
