Britain Regains Optimism: Britain’s leading business executives are regaining confidence in the economy despite government efforts to curb growth with high interest rates, a survey said. The Institute of Directors, which groups 37,000 business leaders in Britain and overseas, said its members were increasingly optimistic about prospects for their own businesses and for the British economy as a whole. In February, 54% of directors in the survey were more optimistic about their companies’ prospects than they were six months earlier, up from 47% in December.
