\"\"<\/p>\n

COVID-19 has rocked what had appeared to be a nearly invincible economy\u2014one associated with substantial job growth, multidecade lows in unemployment, sturdy compensation increases, robust retail sales, low inflation, and strong financial market performance. Underneath that strong performance, however, was a set of fragilities that have been exposed by the pandemic. This presentation speaks to our current economic circumstances, how difficult things are likely to become in the foreseeable future, and the contours of the brisk recovery to come thereafter.<\/p>\n

Speaker:<\/strong> Anirban Basu, Chairman and CEO of Sage Policy Group, Inc., an economic and policy consulting firm in Baltimore, Maryland. He serves as the Chief Economist to Associated Builders and Contractors and as Chief Economic Adviser to the Construction Financial Management Association. In 2007 and then again in 2016, Mr. Basu was selected by the Daily Record<\/em> newspaper as one of Maryland\u2019s 50 most influential people. The Baltimore Business Journal<\/em> named him one of the region\u2019s 20 most powerful business leaders in 2010.<\/p>\n
