Good news! According to a new survey of global businesses conducted by American Express and the Centre for Business and Economic Research (CEBR), U.S. companies are the most bullish and optimistic when it comes to business-to-business (B2B) spending than companies in five other industrialized countries.
The Global Business Spend Indicator (GBSI) survey leverages data from more than 3,600 companies in Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, the UK and the U.S. Together, these countries account for two-fifths of global economic output, making the GBSI a key bellwether of conditions in B2B spending. The survey encompasses a similar number of small, medium and large companies in each country and spans a range of industries.
