Webinar: Macroeconomics III: B2B Capex, Inventories, and Investment Considerations

Wednesday | June 14 | 2:00 PM Eastern | Register Today

This webinar is brought to ECIA members in a partnership with the AEA, Association Education Alliance.

A slowing macro economy is a headwind for investment, affecting everything from capacity planning to capital expenditures and inventory levels. The pandemic-era swings in both supply and demand are calming, but persistent uncertainties - the war in Ukraine, the Fed’s interest rate policy, and the severity and longevity of the economic downturn – all cloud the decision-making process. What does it all mean to the distribution community? In this episode Alex Chausovsky will delve deep into these critical topics. He will discuss the current Capex and inventory landscape, explore what is likely to occur down the road, and provide some sage advice to distributors looking for new insights and ideas to help deal with the uncertainty head on.
