The economic outlook for the coming year remains uncertain. With higher interest rates, geopolitical upheaval, and climate concerns, it seems that prospects for the global economy are headed for a black hole. Close to home, business leaders are grappling with uneven market developments and bank policies with a possible recession on the (long) horizon. Will 2024 be a year of stagnant growth? Cheap capital will be a thing of the past and leaders will need to pivot around high interest rate environments. Boards of directors need to have economic indicators high on their watch list for 2024 (and beyond), and ask questions around how the economy is impacting company strategy and operations. Join this SVDX webinar to get an overview of what to expect in 2024 around the economy domestically and abroad from a board director perspective.
