Key Points: 
  • Finance professionals' economic confidence continued rising in North America through Q2 despite stalling globally.
  • Published quarterly, GECS is the largest regular economic survey of accountants carried out globally.
  • The report explores how ongoing aggressive interest rate hikes by central banks, and China's weaker than expected economic recovery, have likely weighed on confidence.
  • Indices measuring global problems accessing finance and securing prompt payment both deteriorated in Q2, although neither looks particularly worrying yet by historical standards.
