The Conference Board Measure of CEO Confidence™, which had increased in the first quarter of 2013, improved again in the second quarter. The Measure now reads 62, up from 54 last quarter (a reading of more than 50 points reflects more positive than negative responses).  
Says Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board: “CEO Confidence, much like consumer confidence, posted a strong gain in the second quarter. CEOs are more upbeat about short-term growth prospects in most markets, including Europe, and expectations for India and China remained positive, but flat.”
