Economic Conditions Snapshot, March 2019: McKinsey Global Survey results
Respondents report an overall wary economic outlook and are increasingly concerned over trade. Yet there are signs of optimism among emerging economies and for companies’ prospects
Global executives’ views on the economy remain more gloomy than upbeat for the second quarter in a row.1 In McKinsey’s newest survey, few respondents believe that economic conditions have improved in recent months or will improve in the months ahead. They also share concerns over trade—namely, a recent decrease in trade levels between their home countries and the world and the prominence of trade conflicts as a threat to global growth.2 Yet the results suggest a glimmer of optimism in emerging economies. For the first time in four surveys, these respondents are more positive than their developed-economy peers about current and future conditions in their home countries, as well as in the world economy. What’s more, emerging-economy respondents are as optimistic as—and in some cases, more hopeful than—others about their companies’ business prospects, which respondents across geographies believe to be strong.

Mckinsey: What executives think about the economy: 2004 to now
This continually updated interactive tracks how executives around the world have viewed economic conditions and the economic prospects of their companies, and how those views have differed over time and across industries, regions, and types of company.
Every quarter since early 2004, McKinsey has asked executives from around the world about their expectations for the global economy, national economies, and their own organizations. Since September 2008, as these topics have grown in urgency, we have added additional questions, including some on customer demand and company profits.
This interactive feature will allow you to explore how different regions, industries, and types of companies have been affected by recent changes in economic conditions, and what executives expect to see in the future.
We will update the data upon completion of each new survey.
