Program Description

Event Details

Since the Covid pandemic and the associated lockdowns, inflation has risen significantly, causing central banks around the world to raise interest rates in a campaign that has lasted much longer than expected. Concerns have arisen that these higher interest rates are taking their toll on consumers, the housing market, and more. Will the Federal Reserve push the world’s largest economy into a recession? If so, what would that mean for our workforce and financial markets? On August 22nd, Tim Baker, CFA, Founder & CEO of Metric Financial, will explore how recessions come to be, their broader implications, and whether one is coming. He will also discuss some important trends in the investment industry and how they affect everyday investors. Please join us and bring your questions!
