Carroll County Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Membership Meeting/Election of Directors to the Chamber’s Board

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Anirban Basu, Chairman & CEO, Sage Policy Group, Inc.
Event Title: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
Has the Federal Reserve successfully engineered a soft landing? Or, is the confluence of geopolitical conflict, a presidential election, rising consumer debt levels, and still high interest rates conspiring to produce economic downturn in 2024? It is difficult to know whether 2024 will be a good year – but one thing is clear – it will be a very interesting one. This presentation will supply in-depth analysis of major factors shaping economic outcomes, including interest rates, global conflict, wage dynamics, business confidence, and demographics. It will then turn toward a forecast for the coming year, highlighting the major risks that economic stakeholders will likely encounter.
