Uncertainty in UK boardrooms lifts after Labour win, Deloitte reports
The quarterly Deloitte survey of chief financial officers showed 23% of large British companies reported high or very high uncertainty, down from 36% in the previous survey and the lowest reading since late 2015. The report also pointed to rising optimism around financial prospects, adding to early signs of a pickup in business sentiment since the July 4 victory for the Labour Party. "We've seen a significant shift in risk appetite post the general election and the new government's focus on growth and stability is already increasing corporate confidence," Richard Houston, chief executive of Deloitte UK, said.
