A further 31% said they were positive on the outlook, a large decline from the forecast 12 months ago when 66% held a positive outlook and 27% were neutral.AESC president Peter Felix says: “It is perfectly understandable that our members should continue to be cautious.
“The only bright spot is the US, where ‘green shoots’ have emerged in the past 12 months, but these are far from dependable and are restrained by the uncertainty of the November presidential elections. We can only hope that this overall period of uncertainty will not continue into 2013.”
