Board, Chief Executive, and Executive Updates - August, 2023

As the new fiscal year gathers momentum, analysts are maintaining projections of restrained GDP growth for the rest of 2023. The cautious outlook is heavily influences by the impact of elevated interest rates and living costs, which are placing pressure on disposable income. Meanwhile, the executive talent market is gradually adjusting, with many organisations renewing their senior executive leadership and board teams ahead of a return to stronger economic growth in 2024.
