VISTAGE-MIER CEO Confidence Index

Results for 2011 Quarter 4
CEO CONFIDENCE – LOOKING FOR A BOTTOM?
The fourth quarter 2011 Vistage-MIER CEO Confidence Index settled lower quarter-on-quarter at 82.5 points, down 10.8 points from the previous quarter’s 93.3 points. The decline in the previous quarter had been a more significant 18.6 points. Year-on-year, the Index is lower by 33.4 points. All of the Index’s 6 component indices settled lower both on a quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year basis, just like in the previous quarter.
After eight consecutive quarters spent above the threshold level of 100 points, the boundary at which the opposing forces of optimism and pessimism balance out, the Index finally sank below 100 points in 3Q2011. Though the Index’s fall further below the threshold level in the current quarter is no reason to push panic buttons, it is certainly a cause for concern. The growth momentum of the Malaysian economy has been moderating. The Index’s performance certainly suggests further moderation in the months ahead. The question is, how much further? And what are the implications for Malaysia’ high-income economy goal?
