Economic Outlook (October 2011)

The latest installment of CMI's Economic Outlook research series, which tracks business confidence amongst the UK’s manager, shows that many are questioning whether the recession is really over. The majority of managers believe a double-dip recession is likely to occur with 84 per cent reporting that the economy is having a negative impact on their organisation.

Almost a year on from the Comprehensive Spending Review, CMI's report reveals the concerns held by the UK’s managers and leaders about the private sector’s ability to rebalance the economy by providing growth and jobs in the coming months.  It does, however, also offer a glimmer of hope, outlining senior executives’ views on the state of the economy in 12 months and beyond.
