Q1 Economic Update with Elliot Eisenberg

A recession has been looming over the U.S. economy for months, but with a lack of consensus from prognosticators on just how severe one may be, making sense of market dynamics is a real challenge.

To help provide some clarity, Dr. Elliot Eisenberg conducted the first of his quarterly Member Live+ events for Monitor Suite members, breaking down all four parts of GDP, the labor markets, inflation, monetary policy and construction activity across the residential, private non-residential and public sectors. The event also featured a Q&A section so attendees could seek direct guidance from Dr. Eisenberg on the most pressing issues facing their businesses and the equipment finance industry at large.

This is a Member Live+ event, which are only available to members of Monitor Suite, Monitor‘s subscription platform for exclusive premium equipment finance industry content. Along with Member Live+ events, Monitor Suite members have access to high-quality video streaming series, a library of in-depth data reports and much more.
