Detailed Findings
The Global Economy: A Mixed Picture
0%
say the economic environment and outlook is having a ‘major adverse impact’ on the ability of healthcare companies to raise capital
Capital Constraints
Availability of capital has been a critical theme for the past two years. Whilst it continues to be high on the agenda again this year, there are green shoots of optimism about the macro economy that indicate the worst of the funding crisis might have passed.
Whilst 48% of respondents say the inability to raise capital is having a major adverse effect, this is down from a critical majority of 68% last year. Healthcare companies remain the most cautious, with 51% saying it is having a major adverse effect; however, this is down from 70% last year.
The tempered caution is reflected in a larger group indicating it is having a small adverse impact (at 44%, up from 27% last year).
