C2FO Economic Update What Does the Road to Recovery Look Like?

Nearly six months after the coronavirus pandemic forced a nationwide shutdown, the economic picture for the United States remains cloudy. Is the recession ending, or not? What challenges still stand in the way of a return to economic stability? 

Join C2FO for an exclusive quarterly economic roundtable and discussion about the road to recovery. J. Eric Kelley, executive VP and director of research and fixed income for UMB Bank, will walk through key economic variables like consumer confidence, labor statistics, global debt and COVID-19 cases, and examine what they portend for the next 12 to 24 months of US economic growth. Kerri Thurston, chief financial officer for C2FO, will also share her perspective on how companies of all sizes are responding to the uncertain economy. 

“Right now, we’re in the middle of this great adaptation,” Kelley says. “There are a few things pointing toward a recovery, but also a massive amount of risk right now. The big question is, are we pulling out of this or not?”

During this interactive webinar, Kelley and Thurston will also answer a few questions from the audience, as time permits.
