CORPORATE SURVEY: WEAK END MARKETS

RBC/ChangeWave third-quarter corporate survey – conducted from August 24 to September 2 and completed by 3,006 respondents – suggests that weak end markets are still generating downward pressure on selling prices and hiring and capital spending intentions. However, the survey results also point to a continued improvement in the corporate operating environment. The outlook should improve further with additional easing in credit alongside and the continued flow of fiscal stimulus through the economy.
