U.S. Economy and Business Outlook: Just How “Soft” Is the Soft Landing?
The non-stop volatility of the 2020s concluded another chapter in 2024 leaving us wondering what’s ahead in 2025 and beyond. The consequences of the new administration, seemingly unending wars in the Mideast and Ukraine, and a Federal Reserve winning the inflation battle and finally cutting interest rates, all contribute to a risky mix. Jim Meil will try to shed some light and offer insights on whether this is a “soft landing” and, if so, what it means for our businesses. He will offer a coherent view of current business conditions and an outlook for 2025 and beyond for the domestic and international economies.
