ECIA 2022 Executive Conference Economic Forecast Sessions Finalized

Highly acclaimed economist Cliff Waldman will once again present his update on the global macroeconomy at the ECIA 2022 Executive Conference. A range of shocks has created a moment of significant peril and uncertainty in the global economic outlook. A disruptive trade war, the historic pandemic, a dangerous and destabilizing war in the Ukraine, and the most rapid U.S. and global inflation in decades have significantly raised the potential for a near-term U.S. and global recession. Collectively, these challenges could leave marks on world economic functioning for years to come. Cliff Waldman will sort out this difficult picture to offer clarity and understanding of present challenges and the path ahead. Cliff Waldman will also take a deep dive look into the topic offering a round table session before the conference begins on Monday, October 24th.
