Economy Watch US/Global -Trading and Growing up: Trade in a Stronger Global Outlook

Over the last few years a pickup in global trade volume has played a key role in fueling stronger global growth. 

Join our expert panel for this month's Economics Watch as they discuss The Conference Board's US and Global Economic Outlook with a special focus on trade and how recent changes in both domestic and worldwide trade patterns have affected the global economic environment. 

Insights from this webcast:

  • Why did trade growth pick up during the past two years after remaining slow in the years after the Great Recession? 
  • How have increased wages in China and other emerging markets, along with increased capacity for automated goods production, encouraged firms to reshore stages of production activity to mature markets? 
  • How should supply chain managers decide whether they will be better served by offshoring or reshoring value-chain stages in the coming years?

Who Should Attend: Executives interested in learning how changing trade patterns will effect economic performance and business strategy
