While economists forecast a soft landing, Australian business leaders anticipate a 2024 recession or believe one is already underway—59% compared to 46% in 2023.
In contrast, business leaders also expressed widespread economic optimism. Nearly 7 in 10 respondents expressed confidence in the global (69%) and national economies (68%), notably higher than respondents in the U.S. and U.K.
Leaders’ confidence extends to their industries (73%), companies (80%) and the global economy (69%). Most survey respondents expect to see increases in their revenue/sales (82%), profits (78%), credit needs (77%) and capital expenditures (73%). Likewise, more than half of Australian business leaders are looking to expand into new distribution channels (54%) and geographical markets (53%).
Australian business leaders know there are obstacles ahead. The competitive environment and cybersecurity and fraud concerns topped the list of business concerns at 28%, as the country has seen several high-profile data breaches in the last 12 months. And amid rising interest rates and headlines about reduced holiday spending, lack of consumer confidence (26%) rounded out leaders’ biggest business concerns. Plus, nearly three-quarters of companies report costs rising as a result of inflation.
Artificial intelligence may help leaders achieve tackle obstacles ahead; 86% of Australian business leaders are currently using or considering using AI tools for their business. Financial management and accounting was the top area where Australian leaders use or plan to use AI.
