The Global Economy—Opportunities and Challenges
Monday 9:15–10am
Understanding the dynamics of the U.S. economy requires today’s executives to recognize the impacts coming from Europe, Asia, and the rest of the globe—from trends and possible changes in the global economy to developments in debt-laden and endangered Europe. Given the talk of a possible double-dip recession, this timely session will explore the market impacts on wages, inflation, interest rates, consumption demand—and the federal budget, to assess the possible impacts of the nation's fiscal policy on the domestic economy and your business.
