Key Survey Highlights
- The medium to longer term optimistic sentiments recorded in the 2013 Deloitte India CFO Survey continue to prevail, as more than two-thirds (68%) CFOs continue to be positive and hopeful about the future state of the Indian economy, beyond the one year horizon.
- Almost 60% of CFOs consider slowdown in the domestic economy as one of the key economic concerns, followed by rupee depreciation and volatility, inflation and lack of political direction.
- From an industry perspective, over 50% CFOs are finding it difficult to achieve and sustain market growth. Another aspect dampening their sentiments is the increase in cost structures, as a result of inflation and other factors, together with the paucity of the desired talent pool.
- Given the prevailing uncertainty in the markets, almost 45% CFOs do not anticipate any notable change in their current organizational strategies in the immediate future.
- Close to 50% believe managing costs, followed by increasing enterprise risk, and changing regulatory requirements, to be the most critical organization-specific challenges.
