Business Roundtable joins the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups in calling on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Congress to implement reforms that will improve the agency’s rulemaking process and restore public faith in the regulator. Business Roundtable Vice President of Corporate Governance William Anderson: “The SEC has a vital mandate of protecting investors, promoting efficient capital markets, and fostering capital formation. When the agency departs from its mandate or circumvents its procedures, it weakens U.S. capital markets, undermining prosperity, and economic security. Business Roundtable urges Congress to advance reforms to support strong and resilient capital markets.” Learn more ⬇

Business Roundtable today released its Q2 2024 CEO Economic Outlook Survey, an index of CEO plans for capital spending and employment and expectations for sales over the next 6 months. The overall Index decreased slightly by 1 point from last quarter to 84 and is nearly at its historic average of 83. The Index’s subindices show that CEO plans for capital investment are down marginally, and expectations for sales are up modestly from last quarter. Additionally, plans for hiring remain the same as in Q1. Explore the full findings and view past surveys ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ePMpCFpZ

Since 2018, Business Roundtable has consistently called for a federal consumer data privacy law that will protect and empower consumers and provide clear obligations for how companies handle personal data. However, the current draft of the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) falls short of creating the uniform national privacy standard intended. Business Roundtable joins #UnitedforPrivacy partners in urging Congress to revise APRA to ensure that the bill provides a strong federal privacy law that enhances consumer privacy protections while preserving the ability for American businesses to compete. BRT is committed to engaging constructively with Congress to ensure that the bill provides a uniform national privacy standard with clear, consistent requirements to strengthen consumer trust and enable new services and technologies to flourish within a well understood legal and regulatory structure.

The American Privacy Rights Act will add to the privacy patchwork, confuse consumers, and slow economic growth. Today, TechNet joined 21 other #UnitedforPrivacy partners in a letter urging Congress to make substantial changes to the bill. Read our letter: https://bit.ly/3xiMm4D Since 2018, 46 states have considered 210 comprehensive data privacy bills, with 20 state legislatures passing privacy laws. If this continues, a 50-state patchwork would cost the U.S. economy more than $1 trillion over 10 years, with $200 billion being paid by small businesses. United for Privacy partners agree with the America Privacy Rights Act’s goal of providing a uniform national standard. However, as drafted, the bill falls short and would not end the growing privacy patchwork; it would add to it. The letter was also signed by: ACT | The App Association American Escrow Association American Financial Services Association Business Roundtable Computer & Communications Industry Association Center for American Entrepreneurship Chamber of Progress Consumer Technology Association Electronic Transactions Association Engine | Advocacy & Foundation IAB Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) Marketplace Industry Association National Apartment Association (Naahq) National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) National Multifamily Housing Council NetChoice SIIA Technology Councils of North America (TECNA) U.S. Chamber of Commerce XR Association

Congratulations to Business Roundtable member company Eli Lilly and Company for doubling its investment in its Lebanon, Indiana, manufacturing site to $9 billion. The investment will create high-wage, advanced manufacturing, engineering and science jobs for hundreds of families in the state now and in the future.
Most people don’t think about what it takes to make their medicine. That’s not their job—it’s ours. To help meet the increasing demand for our medicines, we’ve invested more than $18 billion in advanced manufacturing facilities over the last four years, about 9 times what it costs to build a new pro football stadium. Our latest investment in Lebanon, Indiana—the largest in our 148-year history, totaling $9 billion—will help increase the supply of our newest innovations for diabetes and obesity and reach more people who need our medicines. https://e.lilly/3R1hNY6 #WeAreLilly
