Geneva, Switzerland, 21 September 2011 – The World Economic Forum’s Global Confidence Index shows very little confidence worldwide in the state of the global economy and in global governance over the next 12 months.
Over 1,000 global experts from the public and private sectors were surveyed; one-half of the respondents are pessimistic about the global economic outlook and one-quarter anticipates there will be an economic disruption during the next year. One in four say there is a lack of global leadership to deal with problems during this time and a majority fear a geopolitical as well as societal upheaval, according to the quarterly Global Confidence Index.
