- APEC 2013

Top 10 findings:

1. Most CEOs (68%) are increasing investments in APEC economies over the next year. In the longer term, China, Indonesia and the US ranked as top three destinations for increases over the next 3-5 years.

2. Looking past slowing middle-income economies: CEO confidence is up More CEOs (42%) are ‘very confident’ in revenue growth for their companies than they were at this time last year (36%). Urbanisation; rising middle class; infrastructure needs are sources of potential growth.

3. The APEC growth strategy: innovation, expanding services top CEOs’ to-do lists 87% of CEOs say middle-income consumers influence their growth strategies. Close to half of investment increases centre around new product development, services and distribution capabilities. Around 25% of CEOs plan ‘significant’ change to product mixes, distribution, brand and customer service strategies.

4. More believe Indonesia will surprise with greater business opportunities than expected CEOs shared their ‘dark horse' picks for upside surprises. Indonesia was followed by Myanmar, China, The Philippines and Viet Nam. Expanding middle classes and ample natural resources were often cited as attractive qualities. CEOs also noted increasing transparency, infrastructure plans and political stability.
