Morning Consult’s Global Policy Outlook series provides monthly analysis of global sentiment on key issues at the intersection of politics and economics across 17 of the world’s largest markets, along with our six-month forecast of where policymaking is headed.
This edition assesses global public sentiment surrounding trust and governance.
Heading into H2/2024, business leaders should take note: global trust is in short supply. In the case of business leaders and corporations specifically, trust is nearing a tipping point beyond which the average adult would be more likely than not to distrust them, or to trust them “a little” at best.
Key issues covered in the context of these dynamics include:
- Global trends in public trust of business leaders, corporations and central governments, as well as attitudes towards democratic governance
- Analysis of ongoing high-level shifts that threaten to tip the balance against business leaders, as well as market-specific looks at countries with noteworthy recent changes
Corporate decision-makers, risk management and financial services professionals, and public sector entities rely on this report series to understand how public sentiment is trending across critical policy areas and make business, investment and public sector decisions accordingly.
