About the Deloitte CFO Survey

The Deloitte CFO Survey is a quarterly survey of Chief Financial Officers and Group Finance Directors that was launched in September 2009.

The Summer 2016 Survey was conducted between 30 May and 23 June 2016. A totalof 115 CFOs participated, representing listed and private companies and all major sectors of the Swiss economy.

Some of the charts in the survey show the results in the form of a net balance. This is the percentage of respondents reporting, for instance, that bank credit is attractive, minus the percentage saying that bank credit is unattractive. This is a standard method of presenting survey data. Due to rounding percentages may not add up to 100.
