U.S. Economic Outlook for 2024 Webinar

In 2023, the U.S. defied the recession expectations with robust growth and successful efforts in curbing inflation. Despite the temporary concern sparked by the failure of three U.S. banks, fears of a financial contagion have subsided. The Federal Reserve’s indication of an upcoming rate cut was met with enthusiasm, propelling the stock market to new heights.

Layoffs in the technology sector haven’t substantially lifted the unemployment rate as some feared. However, lingering uncertainties persist, fueled by ongoing geopolitical conflicts, surging government debts, and the anticipation of upcoming elections. The overall economic outlook for 2024 remains cautious. We anticipate that 2024 will mark the start of a new normal as long-term expectations for economic growth and inflation are reset and the global supply chain undergoes changes.

Join CRC on Tuesday, January 30 at 12:00 pm ET for an exploration of the 2024 U.S. Economic Outlook during our exclusive 60-minute webinar.

Key discussion topics include:

Economy: Latest GDP forecasts and recession risk analysis
Financial tightening cycle: Fed’s rate cutting and its implications
Disinflation: CRC’s latest inflation forecasts and long-term expectations
Consumer spending: Recent trends on consumers’ financial situation and their spending behavior
Labor market: Unemployment rate and wage growth forecasts
Supply chain: Updates on destocking/restocking cycle plus global supply chain shifts

We’ll build upon the insights shared during last year’s webinar and analyze the shifts reshaping the current landscape. Our goal is to provide you with a better understanding of what this new paradigm means for businesses and empower you to make informed decisions in an ever-changing economic environment.
