2025 U.S. Economic Outlook Webinar

The United States’ economy enters 2025 at a crossroads, balancing resilience with growing uncertainties. Robust retail sales point to consumer strength, yet a cooling labor market and persistent inflation signal potential headwinds. With the Trump Administration poised to shape policies that may add to reflation risks and influence the Federal Reserve’s rate-cutting strategy, understanding these dynamics is essential.

Join Cleveland Research Company on Thursday, February 6 at 12:00 pm ET for an exploration of the 2025 U.S. Economic Outlook. In this webinar, we’ll explore the key economic factors at play and provide insights on how to navigate the opportunities and risks that lie ahead in the coming years.

Key discussion topics include:

• Trump 2.0: The new Presidential Administration’s policies on trade, immigration, and government spending
• Economy: Updated GDP forecasts and recession risk analysis
• Financial tightening cycle: The latest rate cutting projection and its implications
• Inflation: CRC’s latest inflation forecasts and scenario analysis
• Consumer spending: Consumers’ financial situation and their spending behavior
• Labor market: Unemployment rate and wage growth forecasts
• Supply chain: Updates on destocking/restocking cycle plus supply chain shifts

We’ll build upon the insights shared during last year’s economic outlook webinar and analyze the shifts reshaping the current landscape. Our goal is to empower you to make informed decisions in an ever-changing economic environment.

Registration includes the full slide deck and video replay we’ll share after the call.
