Let our expert, Dr. Ed Seifried, help you interpret the Bureau of Economic Analysis' October 27th release of the estimate of the nation's Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), based on 3rd quarter 2011 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 later estimates) will of course significantly impact monetary and fiscal policy for the remainder of 2011 and in 2012.
Dr. Ed will also review the latest FOMC statement from the Fed's November meeting to determine what the likely impact of any policy changes will be on the economy and financial institutions. Dr. Ed will also review the effects of "Operation Twist" - the most recent Fed monetary weapon used to stimulate economic growth.
During this session, you will learn:
- What the GDP report for 2011 (3rd quarter) indicates for the banking industry going forward.
- Has the economic recovery changed from being one caused by economic stimulus and government intervention to one centered on the private sector?
- How the current turmoil in the Middle East and Europe could derail the fragile economic recovery.
