This year's "summer slowdown" has gone far beyond a mere correction after a temporary "warm winter" boost to activity. The US economy has lost momentum, and the global picture looks very worrying. Domestically, the fiscal cliff looms at the end of the year, but there is no sign that any action will be taken to address it this side of the presidential election. Businesses and consumers are behaving cautiously, and US 10-year yields are down to historically unprecedented levels.
During this webcast, we will review the outlook for the US economy and its prospects for pulling out of this soft patch and avoiding the risk of a full-fledged recession. We will also highlight the key economic issues at stake in the upcoming election and the key decisions that will have to be made if we are to avoid going off a fiscal cliff of extreme budget tightening in 2013. Some of the key questions we will address:
