Let our expert, Dr. Ed Seifried, help you interpret the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ January 28th release of the estimate of the nation’s Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), based on 4th quarter 2010 output of goods and services. He will point to clues that shed light on economic activity for the remainder of the year and what that indicates for financial institutions. This “advanced” estimate (there will be more estimates throughout 2011) will of course significantly impact monetary and fiscal policy making in 2011.
During this session, you will learn:
- What the GDP report for 2010 (4th quarter) indicates for the banking industry going forward.
- What 2011 economic activity, inflation and interest rates might look like.
- How heightened unemployment will impact loan quality and what obstacles are in the way of reducing the unemployment rate.
- What Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) actions might be in store for bankers in 2011.
