One in five Irish CFOs expect revenues to fall

Geopolitics is clearly weighing on CFO sentiment

In Ireland, one in five CFOs (22%) expect their revenue to fall, while 45% say they expect to see their revenue increasing over the next 12 months.

Optimism levels among Ireland’s CFOs have weakened significantly over the past year.

Deloitte’s latest CFO survey reports just 28% of Irish respondents say they are more optimistic about their company’s financial prospects than three months ago. That figure is down from 60% in spring 2024, and only a modest recovery from the 19% recorded in autumn 2024.
