Economic experts share 2025 outlook at 61st Annual ASU/PNC Bank Luncheon

Top economists provide insights on U.S. recession risks, Arizona growth, and global uncertainties.

TEMPE, Ariz. (Oct. 29, 2024) — The economic forecast for 2025 is uncertain, but experts are watching several key indicators closely. With inflation appearing to be under control, recent labor market data have raised concerns about a potential recession. Political uncertainties, a fluctuating technology sector, and ongoing global conflicts — such as the war in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East — further complicate the economic outlook. In Arizona, however, significant growth is expected, driven by major technology investments.

Join us at the 61st Annual ASU/PNC Bank Economic Forecast Luncheon — hosted by the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and sponsored by PNC Bank — where top national and regional experts will present their economic forecasts, answer questions, and provide insights on these issues and more.
