Downlaod Presentation


2023 is winding down as we prepare for the challenges and ongoing uncertainties of 2024. The decelerating rate of rise and, in some cases, onset of decline that characterized many industries and businesses in 2023 will extend through 2024 for many. We will present business strategies and tactics that address the projected changes in the economic landscape. During this session we will also discuss:

  1. Assess business demand for 2024 and into 2025
  2. Analyze the labor market and present our expectations for availability and labor costs
  3. Present a clear picture of inflation and interest rates
  4. Look at ITR Economics’ key leading indicators and what they foretell for your markets
  5. Present relevant market outlooks and discuss issues that impact your profitability via resource allocation, budgets, expectations, and strategic planning
  6. Determine the near- and longer-term trends in labor, pricing pressures, and interest rates
  7. Assess the health of financial market trends and their impact, if any, on the forecasts
