SUMMARY:2023 Economic Webinar – Delivered by Glen Hodgson
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday, December 6 at 2:30 NL time, Economist Glen Hodgson will virtually deliver an economic webinar for techNL members to help you prepare for long-term success going into 2023. techNL has invited Economist and Financial Consultant Glen Hodgson to deliver an insightful webinar on the economic growth outlook for 2023. Tune in on Tuesday, December 6 at 2:30 PM and find out how your business can prepare for long-term success going into the new year.\n\nThe global and Canadian economies recovered well in 2021 from the pandemic shutdown period. Effective vaccines and treatments for COVID, plus exceptional monetary and fiscal stimulus, permitted the gradual reopening of the economy and a return to a positive growth pathway for output and employment.\nStrong growth was initially projected for 2022. However, supply chain bottlenecks and a spike in energy prices largely due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine fueled a sharp rise in inflation. Central banks were also slow to respond to the inflationary threat and the bank of Canada and others have hoisted interest rates in multiple large steps as they struggle to bring inflation back under control.\nEconomic growth has stalled and there is now a strong possibility of recession into 2023. The current context faces many complications and risks. Key questions include:\n\nHas inflation peaked? How quickly will it decline? How high will interest rates go in order to contain the inflationary pressures, and when will they peak?\nWhat’s the growth outlook for 2023? Are higher interest rates creating conditions for a recession in Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere?\nWhat is happening in housing and equity markets?\nWhat other longer-term challenges will define the longer-term growth capacity of the economy? (e.g. aging demographics, climate change)\nIn an environment of higher interest rates, stubborn inflation and recession risk, what can individual businesses do to position themselves for longer-term success?\n\n \nEconomist Glen Hodgson will address these issues and more in his forthcoming virtual presentation.\nRegistration is free for techNL members and $30 for non-members.\nSpeaker Bio – Glen Hodgson\nEconomist and Financial Consultant\n\n\nGlen Hodgson has 40 years of experience in global and Canadian macro-economics, international finance, fiscal policy, and other “big picture” topics.\nGlen’s career spanned the Conference Board of Canada, where he was Senior Vice-President and Chief Economist for over a decade; Export Development Canada (EDC); the Canadian Department of Finance; and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington D.C.\nHis current affiliations include: Senior Fellow at the C.D.
