Tech to continue driving Singapore's economy in the year ahead: KPMG

SINGAPORE (Dec 29): Singapore’s chief executive officers (CEOs) are the most confident in their country’s growth prospects as compared to their Asean peers, whom have broadly expressed muted confidence in the global and national economy as well their organisation’s prospects in the next 12 months.

This is according to the latest Asean CEO Outlook report from KPMG Services, Leading in 21st Century Asean, which draws its data from the 2017 Global CEO Outlook released earlier in June and surveyed 1,261 CEOs from around the world, including Asean.

Uniquely, 85% of Singapore CEOs are not only more confident in their country’s growth prospects than their global and Asean counterparts, but also in comparison to last year (63%).
