Firms work up a risk appetite as they expect rates to fall next year
Board directors will take more risk and focus on potential acquisition opportunities next year, an international study of bosses has shown, thanks to an expected fall in interest rates and inflation.
The research, which polled more than 300 board members at companies with turnovers of $250m or more, found 61 per cent of bosses were planning to raise their risk profile next year, three times more than the 18 per cent who said their risk appetite will be lower.
