The vast majority of UAE CEOs are confident about prospects for their organisations over the next three years, the KPMG 2016 CEO Outlook has found.
The survey findings reveal that 76% of polled UAE CEOs – compared to 41% of global CEOs -believe that their business will change significantly over the next three years. The survey also found that UAE CEOs believed that growth over the next three years was mainly going to be organic and driven by new products.
Vijay Malhotra, the CEO of KPMG in the UAE and Oman, commented: “Change is a constant theme in the UAE. Following the recent announcement that the UAE Innovation Week will run for a month beginning 2018, it is encouraging to note that the findings of our UAE CEO Outlook mirror the UAE Government’s vision for the next three years – with a focus on disruption, innovation and digitisation.
