US macro, industries, and regions webinar – How will Omicron’s spread impact the economic recovery?
Topic: 2022 is off to a grim start, with Covid case rates already vastly exceeding previous infection waves, public officials in certain regions re-imposing containment measures, and consumers and businesses treading more cautiously. What’s more, executives across an array of industries are stressed by significant supply-side disruptions, pushing up prices and making it hard for them to meet demand. The unresolved health situation, a growing fiscal drag, and a more hawkish Federal Reserve will make for a delicate economic rebalancing this year. But while the recovery will face headwinds, the economy is in a very different place today than in 2020 and 2021. Tune in to learn more about what we think is in store for the US economy – with a spotlight on the path ahead for US industries and regions.
