Optimistic	Global	Business	Outlook	But	Lower	Short-Term	Expectations	
By	Christian	Michel,	Vice Chair IERG Best Practices Committee
In	2018,	IERG	asked	global	business	leaders	in	its	annual	International	Business	Outlook	to	share	again	their	
opinion	on	conducting	international	business.	Overall,	international	executives	remain	very	optimistic	about	
international	 opportunities	 (70%),	 while	 lowering	 their	 short-term	 expectations	 for	 growth.	 IERG	 experts	
identified	the	following	macro	trends:	
	
Overall	business	growth	outlook	continues	to	be	
positive	while	expectations	are	lower	than	in	2017	
	
	
Political	 risk	 is	 rated	 highest	 (59%)	 followed	 by	
economic	(38%)	and	cultural/societal	(31%)	concerns	
	
	
About	 half	 of	 international	 executives	 expect	
business	transactions	to	increase	–	notably	less	than	
in	2017	(61%).	
Political	 concerns	 are	 on	 the	 mind	 of	 most	
international	executives,	while	technical	and	business	
issues	remain	in	the	background.	
	
Asia	Pacific	and	EME	Countries	are	seen	as	the	areas	with	the	most	potential	
	
	 With	 multiple	 choices	 being	
possible,	 most	 participants	 see	
most	 promising	 opportunities	 in	
Asia	 (67%)	 and	 Europe/Middle	
East		(53%).	
	
The	 view	 on	 North	 America	 may	
be	 based	 on	 inherent	 bias	 of	
international	business	leaders.			
	
South	 America	 is	 currently	 not	
seen	 as	 an	 area	 with	 outstanding	
potential	and	Africa	remains	last.		
About IERG: IERG is an organization of and for international executives who have the shared experience of living and
doing business in an unfamiliar country. We join together around the world to enrich our talents and knowledge, build
our global contacts, expand our base of referrals, and grow our professional opportunities.

International business outlook_2018

  • 1. International Business Outlook 2018 International Executive Resources Group ©| CT Corp Systems | One Corporate Center, Hartford, CT 06103-3220 Optimistic Global Business Outlook But Lower Short-Term Expectations By Christian Michel, Vice Chair IERG Best Practices Committee In 2018, IERG asked global business leaders in its annual International Business Outlook to share again their opinion on conducting international business. Overall, international executives remain very optimistic about international opportunities (70%), while lowering their short-term expectations for growth. IERG experts identified the following macro trends: Overall business growth outlook continues to be positive while expectations are lower than in 2017 Political risk is rated highest (59%) followed by economic (38%) and cultural/societal (31%) concerns About half of international executives expect business transactions to increase – notably less than in 2017 (61%). Political concerns are on the mind of most international executives, while technical and business issues remain in the background. Asia Pacific and EME Countries are seen as the areas with the most potential With multiple choices being possible, most participants see most promising opportunities in Asia (67%) and Europe/Middle East (53%). The view on North America may be based on inherent bias of international business leaders. South America is currently not seen as an area with outstanding potential and Africa remains last.
