WASHINGTON - Nearly a third of company financial officers say that risks around the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election have caused them to delay or scale back investment plans, a potential blow at least in the short-term to economic growth.
Those companies also did not expect to make up slower growth this year in 2025, Meyer and Weitz wrote. The survey did not ask any questions of a partisan nature to try to understand whether CFOs regarded Harris or Trump as better for the economy or their businesses.But given a list of policy topics, about 60% said that in the context of the Nov. 5 vote, "regulatory policy" was their chief concern, while around 59% cited monetary policy and 54% said it was corporate tax policy.
