Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A new report from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has revealed four things that Kenyan Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) are most concerned about.<\/p>\n

The report titled Monetary Policy Committee CEOs Survey released on Monday, May 31, indicated that the CEOs are most worried about a challenging business environment and regulatory environment.<\/p>\n

The heads of companies were also concerned with economic performance as well as the negative effects of Covid-19 pandemic on the economy.<\/p>\n

This survey, which was the second of its kind, was conducted between May 7 and 14, 2021.<\/p>\n

It inquired from CEOs their levels of confidence\/optimism in the growth prospects of their companies and sectors, as well as the growth prospects of the Kenyan and global economies over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

The CEOs answered questions related to the general business activity in 2021 Q2 compared to 2021 Q1, and their expectations for economic activity in 2021 Q3.<\/p>\n

“CEOs are most concerned about a challenging business environment, regulatory environment and economic performance.<\/p>\n

“Compared to March 2021, there\u2019s also increased concern over the COVID-19 pandemic with fears over the possibility of a fourth wave with probability of new variants which would lead to more lockdowns and dampen investor confidence.” read the report in part.<\/p>\n

The survey also found that business environment was the biggest factor likely to constraint the growth of companies in the next 12 months accounting for 20%.<\/p>\n

Other factors include Covid-19 at 16.2%, Business financing at 14.3%, taxation (12.4%), business environment (8.6%) and regulatory environment (8.6%).<\/p>\n

The report, however, indicated that improved efficiency was the strongest internal factor that could strengthen a firms’ outlook accounting for 30.1%.<\/p>\n

Other factors companies can capitalise on to boost their outlook include skill retension and talent development ( 16.1%), strengthen Product Portfolio (14.0%) and revenue diversification (10.8%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
