(Japan Society) Japan Society Business & Policy Registration Jan 30, 2019, 6:49 PM (16 hours ago) to me Dear Colleagues, Thank you for your interest in previous Business & Policy Program events at Japan Society. We would like to inform you about an upcoming program: 2019 Economic Outlook: How Will It Play Out? cid:image006.jpg@01D4A74D.291269E0 CORPORATE LUNCHEON Date: Thursday, February 14, 2019 Time: 12:00 pm – 2:30 pm (Discussion starts at 1:00 pm) Speakers: Lewis Alexander, Chief U.S. Economist, Nomura Securities International Bruce Kasman, Chief Economist, J.P. Morgan Ellen Zentner, Chief U.S. Economist, Morgan Stanley Moderator: Daniel Bases, Editor and Foreign Correspondent Despite geopolitical tensions and talk of trade wars, the economic outlook remains promising. The U.S. economy is booming, with U.S. GDP growth topping at 3% and unemployment rate falling under 4%. While Japan’s economy seems to be on track, many economists believe the nation’s growth will slow in 2019. What lies ahead for the world economy in 2019? What are the biggest threats to the global economy? In this program, leading experts give their assessment of the current economic conditions, and share their economic forecasts.
