33rd BABC Economic Forecast Luncheon
January 25, 2023 @ 11:30 am - 2:00 pm
The British-American Business Council Northern California cordially invites you to the 33rd Annual BABC Economic Forecast Luncheon at the City Club in San Francisco.
Moderated by Richard Waters, West Coast Editor for the Financial Times, our panelists will be delving into the global and local economies and sharing their expertise on the path forward for business as we emerge from the global pandemic.
The last few years have seen profound economic changes, from remote work to accelerated digitalization, and a less stable global landscape. The Bay Area is at the center of many of these shifts.
Our panelists will discuss the implications and the road ahead, both locally and globally covering:
- The US and China seem farther apart than ever. What does the road ahead look like for US-China business and can we still cooperate?
- How has Russia’s war in Ukraine changed the security and economic landscape?
- How are global supply chains realigning and what does that mean for companies in the US and the West?
- Globalization seems on the defensive. What is the outlook for trade and new trade agreements
- How strong is the recovery from Covid and how far do we have to go?
- How is remote work changing the business landscape and the structure of our cities and what does the future of commercial real estate and prospects for recovery in downtown San Francisco look like?
- Some prominent companies have left the Bay Area. Why is that, and is it a trend?
