Event Details
The last year has witnessed some noteworthy developments in the US economy. We've seen the most sustained robust growth with accompanying increases in benchmark interest, both not seen for an extended period. This was joined by what can be the most significant fiscal policy since the 1980s. What have been the related responses by individual economic decision makers and how are trends evolving?
To help us better interpret the full mx of economic highlights, we will welcome back for an annual return visit a senior business economist at the Chicago Fed who closely tracks regional activity in the Midwest. After hearing his presentation, you will ideally come away with useful insights on topics like:
• Evolving Fed policies under a new chairman
• The foundations for ongoing economic good news
• Prospects for various economic sectors
• Relevant considerations for small and emerging businesses
