REUTERS/Hannah McKay/File Photo LONDON (Reuters) - The survey, which was conducted in April, found that only one out of 10 chief executives thought their firms would be able to grow at least as fast or faster than they are now. The research showed just 38% of them believed revenue would rise by 2% or more in the next three years, continuing a steep fall in confidence from 58% to 47% in 2016 and 2017 surveys.
