For its Wednesday, September 30, 2020 meeting, CIM’s Management and Economics Society is pleased to welcome:

Peter G. Hall

Vice-President and Chief Economist
Export Development Canada

 

who will deliver an online presentation on:

The Global Outlook: How Do You Spell ‘K’?

 

Abstract: Forecasts are an average of all activity in the economy. They mean a lot less when there’s not much that’s actually average in the details. The sub-surface outlook is all over the map; good strategy these days requires pouring over the details. As the world emerges from the pandemic, it will be more critical than ever to decide what’s hot, what’s not, and who occupies the middle ground. I hope you can join us.

 

BIO: Peter Hall joined Export Development Canada (EDC) in November 2004.
