Economic and Policy Update – What to Expect This Year and Beyond

PDF Invite

The US macro economy finished 2024 on a strong note, with the consumer acting as the main growth driver. However, the industrial (B2B) sector faced substantial headwinds as aggressive interest rate policy decisions by the Fed mostly stamped out inflation but also raised borrowing costs and stifled capital investment. Now that the rate cutting cycle has begun, the Fed is looking to strike a balance between keeping a lid on inflation while preventing the economy and the job market from deteriorating.

Leading indicators point to an improvement in the US economy in 2025, but President Trump’s agenda, particularly his tax cut, and immigration are bound to have a substantial impact. What does all this mean for the economy and for your business? This presentation will deliver practical and actionable advice designed to help business leaders plan for future economic conditions and continuously improve their organization’s strategic planning initiatives.

Attendees will walk away from the session with the following insights:

• Time-sensitive economic events of concern such as inflation, interest rates, immigration, labor market conditions, consumer spending, business investment, and industrial activity
• Concrete advice on how to navigate the current macroeconomic climate and plan for the future
