Firms gloomier about economic prospects for next 12 months

[Chinadaily]

Chinese businesses' views about various economic issues became significantly more pessimistic in the third quarter, according to a survey from the international accounting firm Grant Thornton LLP on Thursday.

The gloomier outlook was the result of the current sluggish global economy and a slowdown in economic growth in China, the Grant Thornton International Business Report suggested. It said 11 percent of the businesses surveyed expressed optimism about the 12 months going out from the end of the third quarter of this year, down from the 33 percent that had expressed similar sentiments about the 12 months following the second quarter. The sustained downturn in the global economy and the rise of international trade protectionism have resulted in a gloomier business prospect for China," said Ed Nusbaum, CEO of Grant Thornton International. […] The International Monetary Fund, in its latest World Economic Outlook report, also expressed greater pessimism about the global economy, saying growth will be slower in the next two years.
About 68 percent of the Chinese businesses polled in Grant Thornton's survey forecast the global economy would be in a recession during the 12 months from the end of the third quarter and only 16 percent said they have plans to expand overseas.
