We are pleased to present the results of the Kazakhstan edition of the survey conducted among the CEOs of the world's largest companies as part of the global PwC project “CEO Survey”. 5,050 private business executives from 100 countries took part in the PwC project. In Kazakhstan, this year the survey involved 71 executives from different economy sectors.
Most of the executives who took part in the survey expect the global economy to grow in 2021, and moreover, the indicator of expectations for global economic growth has reached its highest level in the last 9 years, both in the world (76%) and in Kazakhstan (65%). However, whether we will be able to compensate for the fall of the last year is an open question. It is important to focus on health fundamentals, capacity recovery, and targets that are resilient to potential shocks.
The pandemic has accelerated digital transformation, especially in large corporations.
CEOs in Kazakhstan are committed to actively pursuing digital business transformation in order to increase productivity, while they note vulnerability to cyber attacks and the disinformation spread. This is why companies are increasingly investing in cybersecurity and personal data protection.
We are grateful to each participant in our survey who took the time to meet in person and on-line and fill out a questionnaire. We hope that the result of our joint efforts will contribute to a deeper understanding and cooperation between private business and the state, as well as factor in the current problems and expectations in the real sector of the economy of Kazakhstan.
