Global Accountants Report Deteriorating Economic Outlook
A recent survey by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and the Institute of Management Accountants shows a significant drop in economic confidence among global accountants, with the first-quarter Confidence Index at -39.5 for Q1 2026 — one of the lowest since 2011. The decline is attributed to ongoing geopolitical tensions like the U.S.-Iran war and rising costs affecting fuel, food, and fertilizer.
