Vistage-Q2-2014-Infographic TJK

The latest Vistage survey found that CEOs continued to

feel confident about today’s economy, as the Vistage

CEO Confidence Index was virtually unchanged from the

levels recorded in the prior two quarters. The Vistage CEO

Confidence Index was 101.0 in the 2nd quarter 2014 survey,

nearly identical with the 101.3 in the 1st quarter and the

101.5 in the 4th quarter of 2013. This was the best three quarter

performance since 2005. The constancy of economic

optimism is all the more surprising given the drop in GDP

during the 1st quarter, indicating that CEOs discounted last

quarter’s decline as an aberration due to the harsh winter.
