Description
Community Conversation: Resiliency of the Economy
October 9, 2020, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM,
Hosted on the Zoom platform
The COVID-19 crisis has created recession-like downturns for many businesses.
Prior to COVID-19, markets were at an all-time-high, and businesses were expecting record levels of consumer demand.
How resilient is America's economy? Will the demand and markets rebound?
This isn’t just about COVID-19, it is also about the overall state of the economy.
Keynote presentation by Tom Barkin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
