Executives at Davos weighed in on the likelihood and severity of a recession in 2023. Most expect the US to have a shallow recession, but Europe and elsewhere could be hit harder. I think there's going to be a lot of uncertainty. "And that means it's time to really think about hunkering down and focusing on what's important, and really focusing on the fundamentals, which is what we are doing within the company." We will do better if there's a recession – at least if there's a recession with unemployment."

Jan 17 (Reuters) - EY Global expects favourable market conditions by the end of this year or early 2024 to list its consulting and a part of the tax business if a proposed split of its accounting and consultancy arms is approved, a company official said on Tuesday. "(The split) will involve a debt raise, and a form of capital transaction - both of those are influenced by market conditions," said Andy Baldwin, global managing partner-client service at EY. The vote, which will take place in around 77 countries, is "probably one of the most complex in corporate history", Baldwin said. He also said that the exchanges to list the business were still under consideration, adding that it was expected to be a "$25 billion plus start-up from the get go".

☆ EY sees other Big Four firms mirroring its proposed split

LONDON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Splitting EY into separate accounting and consultancy businesses will help pay rising technology bills and "inevitably" be copied by rival "Big Four" firms, a top EY official told a Reuters Breakingviews podcast. "It was an appropriate time to dust down the work we did before," Baldwin said. Some of the other Big Four firms have said they have no plans to copy EY. Critics caution that splitting the business could see the auditing side suffer in the shadow of what is traditionally more lucrative consulting work. EY says the split will make it easier to raise capital to invest and create two more agile companies.
