Based on the 25th Annual Global CEO Survey conducted by PwC in early 2022, it is shown that Indonesia is predicted to be one of the countries where business optimism will increase. “The survey was carried out before the Russian invasion to Ukraine. In two months, massive changes occurred again. This shows that we as individuals must be prepared to experience such quick changes,” Alvin explained.
