CFO Business Sentiment Index September 2022

The CFO Business Sentiment Index

After taking a beating from rampaging inflation and despite fears of a recession, based on results in the recent issue of the CFO Business Sentiment Index, published by CFO Intelligence, CFO confidence appears to be making a slow recovery. Only 25% of respondents were glum about the national economy in the September Index, a significant drop from the prior period's 56%, and on par with the July Index. They're not exactly jumping for joy, though, with 25% "positive" about prospects for the economy, up a hair from about 22% in the last Index, and still below the 30% "positive" in July. But, executives are more confident when it comes to their own industries, with 71% optimistic about growth, up sharply from 45% upbeat last month.
