TURKEY - According to the results of the survey conducted by the global consultancy company KPMG last month with the participation of 1,325 CEOs from 11 countries and 11 key industry sectors, 73% of global CEOs in 2023 will contribute to the economy in the next three years, compared to 71% in 2022. The survey results also showed that CEOs view geopolitical and political uncertainty as the biggest risk to their business growth. Haldun Pak, Chairman of the Board of All Senior Executives Association and Chairman of the CEO Platform, said, “As senior executives in Turkey, we produce solutions in unity and solidarity against the financial and political crises experienced worldwide. We aim to implement projects to support our country's economic growth.”
