How confident are CEOs as they lean in to 2024? Is inflation still a major worry for businesses or has it been banished? How concerned are company managers about shifting geopolitics?

This month, Fiona O'Neill, Head of Global Cross-Asset Research Capabilities, Gita Bal, Global Head of Fixed Income Research, and Kris Atkinson, Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, join Richard Edgar to dig through the results. 

With additional contributions from analysts Liz Brockway, Eric Tse and Aki Takaesu.
