SCGMA Economic Outlook Webinar: Monetary Masala

With the presidential and congressional elections of 2024 in the rearview, our eyes turn to 2025.  Has the Federal Reserve engineered a soft landing, or is stagflation on the way?  Can America continue to pace the advanced world, or will expanding indebtedness, policy uncertainty, and over-extended asset values prove our collective undoing?  This presentation focuses on US and regional economic performance with an eye toward discussing emerging risks to what has thus far been an economy that has surprised to the upside.

Date: Thursday, February 20, 2025
Time: 11:00am – 12:00pm PST
Location: Via Zoom
