How is Connecticut’s economy performing? Steady and S-L-O-W, say business owners and executives, responding to CBIA’s latest quarterly economic survey. The First Quarter 2012 CBIA Economic Survey found that area executives believe the economy and their own firms have maintained gains seen in the fourth quarter of 2011.
“While we still have a long way to go in growing the economy, the last two surveys show optimism and growth expectations on par with slow but steady economic recovery,” says CBIA economist Peter Gioia.
The survey found that 41 percent of respondents see their own firm improving over the next three months, while 12% predicted worsening. In the last survey, 46 percent saw the potential for improvement, while 14 percent took a pessimistic outlook.
