Good morning. Economic trust among the chiefs of finance has taken a sharp blow.
Deloitte’s Q2 2025 CFO Alarm Report This morning was released, covering the feelings of 200 financial leaders in companies with a $ 1 billion income in North America. CFO confidence was in 5.4 of the score, showing the average confidence, compared to Q1 reading, was a high confidence in 6.4. This is more than 15% plunging in a short time.
The survey conducted from 4 to 18 June, each key operation metric reduced an increase expectations. In fact, CFOs have dropped forecasts for income, gain and capital investments. The North American economy is less than a quarter of CFT (23%), which evaluates “now well.” 50% of the financial chiefs for comparison offered the same optimistic reaction in Q1.
Only one in the three CFT believes that the lowest reading of the third quarter of 2024 is the lowest reading of up to 60% lower in Q1. Meanwhile, 46% of CFOs say the US capital market is worthless and 41% say it is understood. More than a half (53%) debt financing is attractive, 41% for capital.
Uncertainty in the Regulations
I asked Steve Gallucci, the leader of the CFO program of the global and US program, the main reason for the decline in the definition of tariffs. Stressed that the broader global uncertainty is a real driver.
“There is uncertainty at any time – politics, geopolitics, economics or capital markets-CFO-CFOs are less miserable,” he said. Although the tariffs are a contributor, Dalucci said that the survey was not single and the general mood was formed with the Unexpected Forces.
Last year, as an example of an example of the US presidential election, “the result was very uncertainty, and CFO optimism, optimity, optimism and a wider environment and a wider environment fell again.”
Re-adjust and reset
CFOs showed the best foreign risk as the economy (53%). How does the growth expectations and income predictions, how does CFOs meet? Gallucci described the current environment as a re-structure, not retreat. Instead, financial leaders are declining until the basics:
-Sharpening focus is directed to growth drivers: CFOs are reconsidered, both of the growth can come in real.
-Acomplete risks: The financial chief is a priority that generations can affect the price, talent strategy and technology initiatives.
Activate in M & A: Despite the risk of risks, in the first half of the year, there is a constant interest in combinations and purchases with some signs of IPO activities.
Technology and CyberSecurity remain the most priorities
Gallucci stressed the growing importance of technology investments – a generative AI of violators. However, CFOs still acted despite the adoption of the AI.
As companies expand their technological platforms, the cybergalima remains a leading external concern (51%). “Cyber will always stay at the list of CFO risks,” said Gallucci, especially as they provide more information about third party providers and digital infrastructure.
Interactive domestic risks
CFOs asked for the three-domestic risk: the existence of talent (46%), agility / durability (46%) and cost management (45%) – important.
Gallucci explained that these risks are depending on each other. Supply chains and potential policy changes are scenario planning around cost management. Meanwhile, the talent problem passed in hybrid business logistics: “Do you have the right skills within my financial institution to support technology, automation and the EU?” explained.
CFOs touch for new opportunities for new opportunities and touching the wider pools of talent and wide talent pools to ensure the preparation of the next.
