Mexico is back on the list of the top 10 most attractive countries in which to invest, after a two-year absence.
The list is the result of an annual study by PricewaterhouseCoopers, or PwC, in which the chief executives of the word’s biggest multinational companies are asked for their views on a range of topics related to the economy, growth and the management of their businesses.
One of the questions in the Global CEO Survey asked which countries were seen as being the most attractive for new investment.
The survey of more than 1,400 executives from 83 countries put Mexico in ninth place. It and the United Arab Emirates moved up into the top 10; Australia and Indonesia dropped off.
Topping the list was the United States, followed by China, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, Brazil, Japan, Russia, Mexico and the Emirates.
Published yesterday on the eve of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the study revealed that CEOs are not generally optimistic about the world economy. In fact, confidence levels are the lowest in three years.
PwC chairman Dennis Nally told Business Insider the report makes for “sober reading.”
CEOs are pessimistic as a result of some significant global events: Middle East conflicts, oil prices and China’s economy. The survey was conducted during the last quarter of 2015.
