The world's CEOs believe the worst of the global economic crisis has passed and are looking forward to a growth-focused 2010, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers' Global CEO Survey.
management-issues says the study of over 1,000 global business leaders indicates that 63 per cent believe 2010 will be the starting point for economic recovery.
The study also claims that 80 per cent of CEOs are confident about the year ahead.
In terms of business growth, the researchers say that around 50 per cent of CEOs in Australia, the Asia-Pacific and Canada expect to increase the size of their workforce this year.
CEOs in Europe appear to be more cautious. Only 30 per cent of firms in France, Italy and Spain plan to hire new staff, while only one in five CEOs expects to increase staff by more than 8 per cent.

We certainly need to see some more growth in the economy in the UK before we start to show any signs of optimism here!
