Raleigh Chamber: Event Recap For The 2021 Partners Forum: Economic Recovery & Political Outlook
Tom Barkin focused his talking points on on inflation and how the economy has struggled as a result of the pandemic.
6/25/2021
He discussed how behaviors during the pandemic, such as lack of spending, isolation, supply chain demands, and the closing of businesses resulted in the rise and fall of inflation over the past year. He believes we are in a temporary adjustment cycle, in which workers will return to the workplace, children will return to schools and fiscal payments will eventually retire. He projected our near term inflation pressure to ease as we go into the fourth quarter. Neil stated that he believed our 2022 economy would be stronger than ever as a result of the “Great Resurgence”. Make sure to save-the-date for our next event - the State of the City, County & Schools on July 22. on our website.
