INFLATIONARY CYCLE AND SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES
About two-thirds of mid-market CEOs have been impacted by rising costs due to inflation and more than 40 percent believe the country is in a long-term inflationary cycle that will require government intervention, according to the latest CEO survey from Marcum LLP and Hofstra University’s Frank G. Zarb School of Business.
While confidence in the current business outlook remains strong – 41.7% of CEOs rate their outlook as an “8” or higher, up slightly from the September survey – it’s clear that supply chain problems and inflation are making it increasingly difficult for mid-market companies to keep consumer prices low.
