About this Presentation

Get the Most Current Economic Forecast for Oregon on July 15 with FPA! 

Learn more about what is happening and expected in the metro area and throughout Oregon (not just Portland) that will impact our personal and professional lives. 

This is not just a Portland economic forecast! Josh joins us to talk all things economy-related for our cities and counties across the State. Now being several months into current conditions, we have a unique perspective on where we were, where we actually are, and where we could be headed. A not-to-miss program for anyone! As national, state and local economies start to open back up, it’s important to remember where the economy was prior to COVID-19. The presentation will then summarize the impacts of the disease on the economy to this point. Finally, it will cover how a potential economic recovery might look like. A very timely and pertinent presentation and discussion!


Learning Objectives

  • Provide the latest economic data; and
  • Discuss possible economic forecasts so that finance professionals can consider those details when making financial decisions.

Target Audience

Financial Professionals and Associates -- anyone interested in the current economic environment and the outlook for Portland and Oregon as a whole
