Press Release
Media Alert: Breakfast with the Economists
UA Eller College of Management presents annual mid-year assessment of the economy on June 5 at the Westin La Paloma.
TUCSON, Ariz. – May 29, 2012 – So far, recovery from the Great Recession has been a slow slog. Reduced population mobility, strict credit standards for borrowers, cautious hiring, rising gasoline prices, the absence of a rebound in homebuilding and low confidence are only some of the factors holding the economy back. In the policy arena, bank credit is still gummed up with fears of new regulations and fiscal policy has turned decidedly restrictive. Nevertheless, recent developments in the U.S. economy have been encouraging and the Eurozone has made significant progress dealing with its sovereign debt and banking issues. Housing prices appear to have turned the corner vis-à-vis strong investor demand and lean inventories of houses for sale, and employment growth strengthened in recent months.
Will Congress be able to deal with scheduled tax and spending deadlines set to take effect on January 1? Will tensions over Iran continue to boost oil prices? Is China headed for a hard landing? Will the recovery be able to gain momentum in light of these uncertainties?
Join us for breakfast with economists Gerald J. Swanson and Marshall J. Vest as they answer these questions and offer insights on what to expect for Arizona's economy during the remainder of 2012.
Media passes are available at no cost; please register in advance by contacting Liz Warren-Pederson at news@eller.arizona.edu or 520.626.9547.
