Baltic business leaders expect growth in their own companies while holding a cautious outlook on broader economic perspectives, according to a new study of 101 executives, board members, and council members across the three Baltic states. Rainers Vilāns, KPMG Latvia vadošais partneris, un Rytis Ambrazevičius, Baltijas Korporatīvās pārvaldības institūta prezidents, prezentēs pētījuma rezultātus forumā.
Executive Priorities and Economic Outlook in the Baltics
The research highlights core challenges dominating strategic agendas across the region: finding new growth sources, mitigating talent shortages, deploying artificial intelligence, and maintaining competitiveness amid geopolitical and economic risks. While executives anticipate individual company growth, their guarded view of the overall economy forces firms to re-evaluate how they secure future development.
Talent availability increasingly functions as a strategic challenge. At the same time, artificial intelligence has shifted to a leadership-level priority affecting workflow organization, decision-making, and innovation. Concurrently, geopolitical risks continue to influence investments, supply chain resilience, and development plans across the three Baltic states.
