Annual Economic Forecast

We are pleased to present to you, for the fourteenth consecutive year, our Economic Forecast event, presented virtually by renowned economist Anirban Basu. Mr. Basu will detail global, national, and regional economic performance trends that are impacting and will impact our Valley?s business community in the year to come.

Will 2022 usher forth a return to normalcy, or will it represent a continuation of the life-altering circumstances that characterized 2020 and 2021?  This presentation will provide in-depth analysis of the economy's shifts during the pandemic, including supplying industry and household level detail.  It will then turn toward a forecast for the year to come.   Let's find out together in "No Time to Buy", Dr. Basu's tongue-in-cheek nod to James Bond!
