CEO Survey 2023

12th Annual CEO Survey Cyprus

Winning today's race, while running tomorrow's

Message from the CEO

Twelve years after the first CEO survey in Cyprus, I can say with confidence that we have at our disposal a valuable and comprehensive database that provides an insight into how our business leaders think and operate. The 159 CEOs from Cyprus who participated in this year’s survey give us a clear picture of what gives them optimism, but even more so of what worries them during current difficult times.

I would like to extend my warmest thanks to the 159 CEOs, as well as all those who have contributed to our survey throughout these 12 years. Without their participation, our venture would not be a success. I thank them both for their time and their continued trust.

CEO & Chairman of PwC Cyprus

The majority of the 159 CEOs who have participated in PwC’s survey in Cyprus (69%) are pessimistic, as they believe that global economic growth will decline over the next 12 months. The corresponding figure for the same question in the previous survey was merely 19%, highlighting the dramatic drop and the contrast from last year, when optimism prevailed with 75%.
