The Summit took a clear-eyed look at the forces shaping business today and tomorrow. From the broader state of the economy to the evolving role of tariffs, interest rates, inflation, and the Federal Reserve, we’ll examine the questions that matter most to business leaders. Are current policies pushing us toward recession—or resilience? How might rate decisions in 2025 and beyond affect growth? And what happens if politics enters the Fed’s decision-making? Join us for an engaging discussion on what lies ahead and how you can prepare for it.
Panelists discussed:
- A macro view of the state of the economy.
- Where we stand with tariff changes and policies and the impact on business owners.
- Where interest rates will settle in 2025.
- What happens if the Federal Reserve becomes politicized.
- Whether the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens in 2025.
- What impact the firing of the BLS Administrator has on economic data.
- What if the next equity drawdown is inflation-led, not growth-led?
- How a business owner can survive or even thrive during economic turmoil.
It was a thought-provoking, engaging and informative program.
