About the Webinar
Is the global economic expansion nearing its end or will tax reform and persistently low inflation keep it going? Former DuPont Economist Robert Fry will review the global economy, with emphasis on the manufacturing sector, and will discuss the factors that could end or extend the expansion. The presentation will cover GDP, industrial production, the U.S. housing market, inflation, interest rates and the impact of tax reform and oil prices on economic growth.
