Speakers from across the country and region share
what's in store for the year ahead at the 60th annual ASU/PNC Bank
Economic Forecast Luncheon
TEMPE,
Ariz., Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A
precise 2024 economic outlook would be invaluable, given such an
evaluation is complex. While a recession is becoming less likely,
many unanswered questions remain, and we are still concerned about
inflation. The ongoing crisis in Ukraine, the war in the Middle East, and tensions with China contribute to the continuing instability
in the world economy. The sustained popularity of remote work is
affecting commercial real estate and office financing. Climate
change led to billion-dollar productivity losses in the U.S.
economy. But we can give thanks for substantial growth driven by
technological investments in Phoenix's West Valley.
Join us at this Economic Forecast Luncheon — hosted by the W. P.
Carey School of Business at
Arizona State University and sponsored
by PNC Bank — where top national and regional experts will present
their economic forecasts, answer questions, and advise on these
issues.
