Tomorrow, May 15, at 11:00 AM, PACA will host the renowned economist, Anirban Basu, of Sage Policy Group via webinar to provide an update on the global economy, as well as, Pennsylvania-specific data amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 has rocked what had appeared to be a nearly invincible economy; one associated with substantial job growth, multi-decade lows in unemployment, sturdy compensation increases, robust retail sales, low inflation, and strong financial market performance. Underneath that strong performance, however, was a set of fragilities that have been exposed by the pandemic. This webinar speaks to our current economic circumstances, how difficult things are likely to become over the foreseeable future, and the contours of the brisk recovery to come thereafter.
Anirban is Chairman & CEO of Sage Policy Group, Inc., an economic and policy consulting firm in Baltimore. Anirban serves as the chief economist to Associated Builders and Contractors and as chief economic adviser to the Construction Financial Management Association. In 2007 and then again in 2016, Mr. Basu was selected by the Daily Record newspaper as one of Maryland’s 50 most influential people. The Baltimore Business Journal named him one of the region’s 20 most powerful business leaders in 2010.
Mr. Basu will tailor his presentation with Pennsylvania-specific data and provide us with some much-needed forecasts coming just after more and more of the state begins to reopen.
This webinar is free to PACA member company employees (only) due to the generous sponsorship provided by Union Quarries, Inc. Special thanks to them for making this event possible.
