Executives Optimistic About US Economy In 2015

According to an article on BusinessFacilities.com, most corporate executives (87.8 percent) expect the U.S. economy to grow in 2015. The BusinessFacilities.com article is based on a recent Deloitte poll. Increased corporate capital investments are expected to have the biggest positive impact on U.S. economic growth in 2015 (24 percent) and M&A activity is expected to increase (47.3 percent).

“I typically work with companies during times of change—during crises and growth,” said Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP CEO David Williams. “Whether they’re looking to emerge from a regulatory or litigation challenge or they’re poising themselves for transactions, the executives I know are optimistic and moving ahead with confidence right now.
