Economy Watch

Residential housing starts and authorizations have been surging since last summer, and residential investment growth turned positive in Q3 2019 for the first time since 2017. However, growth in business structures, like warehouses and office buildings, remains relatively weak. A variety of factors have contributed to these trends. Looking ahead, what’s in store for US builders in 2020?

During our February program, our economists will discuss the resurgence in residential investment and weakness in business structures, and explore the underlying drivers and implications for the US economy.

Join our experts to discover:

  • The key drivers of US residential and nonresidential investment in 2020;
  • How sustainable are these trends and what are the broader implications for the US economy; and
  • What are the implications for US businesses more broadly

Who Should Attend: Business executives with an interest in learning more about the state of the US economy
