Global CEOs and U.S. small business owners are strongly urging
political leaders and candidates for office to focus tax reform,
regulation, the size of government and entitlements, and the
national debt to stimulate the economy, growth and job creation,
according to a newly released report from NYSE Euronext (NYX).
Among those who responded to the NYSE Euronext 2012 CEO Report, 86%
of public company CEOs and 87% of U.S. small business owners expect
the election and future public policy to have a significant impact
on the U.S. economy, while 79% of respondents said that the
election results will directly impact job creation.
The 8th annual NYSE Euronext CEO Report presents the thinking of
a diverse set of business leaders on the global economy, business
growth, job creation and the impact of the U.S. elections.
Participants in the survey expressed their views on how the
upcoming elections would impact business and economic growth,
employment growth, regulation, the deficit and taxes and future
public policy.
“The results of our 2012 CEO Report show that many of our listed
companies as well as U.S. small business owners are concerned about
tax policy, the deficit and government spending in the U.S.,” said
Duncan L. Niederauer, Chief Executive Officer, NYSE Euronext. “To
urge our representatives in Washington D.C. to pass comprehensive
debt reform, I have joined with other national bipartisan leaders
from business, government and policy on The Campaign to Fix the
Debt, a non-partisan initiative that aims to enlist the American
people to urge Congress and the President to pass meaningful debt
reduction.”
Asked what guidance they would offer the next U.S.
Administration, these global CEOs and U.S. small business owners
believe efforts should be focused on reducing regulation and
corporate taxes. Participants specifically expressed:
- More than forty percent want reduced
regulation;
- Nearly forty percent want to reduce the
size of government and the amount of government spending;
- More than thirty percent want to reduce
or keep corporate taxes low.
Participating Listed CEOs also shared the following advice for
the next U.S. Administration:
- “Comprehensive corporate and individual
tax reform is needed and if done right will unleash a flood of
available capital for deployment into the economy.”
- “The key priorities should be to
address our debt issues, our entitlement issues, and the increasing
bureaucratic chokehold on our economy. Real and permanent solutions
to these issues would unleash confidence in our economy and help it
grow.”
Participating U.S. small business owners also provided the
following advice to the next U.S. Administration:
- “Lower taxes and regulatory costs,
[develop] a consistent approach to taxes. Don't make changes two to
four times a year. Create a stable environment where it is easier
to predict future employment costs and other business taxes.
Understand that the businesses of any size need some ability to
predict direction for several years out before they are comfortable
making hiring decisions.”
- “Easier and greater access to capital,
including loans for SME, tax code simplification to reduce
loopholes and increase tax payments by those who spend great
resources on avoiding taxes under the current system. Continue the
streamlining of government programs aimed at job creation. Have
government and industries partner to create jobs in various sectors
and regions.”
