Post-election policy outlook: With change in the White House, what’s changing for US companies? With Democrat Joe Biden projected to become the 46th US president, much of the election uncertainty has started to recede, improving business leaders’ optimism. News of COVID-19 vaccine breakthroughs has added to that sentiment, and more than 40% of senior executives surveyed by PwC say they’re more upbeat about business prospects in 2021 than they were before the election. Expectations that aspects of the Biden agenda will likely be moderated by a Republican or closely-divided Senate is also likely reassuring for business.
