Welcome Breakfast | US Overview: What's Next for the American Economy?

-

Among the uncertainties facing the United Statesand thus the worldis the immediate future of the American economy. With nearly full employment and substantially higher inflation rates, can the Fed's policy of sustained and strategic interest rate hikes thread the needle of bringing inflation down without tipping the economy into recession? Financial markets have been jolted by these changes in monetary policies, as well as supply side challenges created by world tensions. Just as important to consider are the longer-term questions of how the American economy can continue to provide economic opportunity and social mobility for its citizens, and preserve and extend the entrepreneurial energies that have long fueled US growth. Join us to hear as leading experts provide insight on these crucial issues.
