Webinar – An Economic Outlook for 2023: The Forecast for CRE
As we enter 2023, a fair amount of uncertainty exists about the economic forecast. While some industry experts predict a pivotal year for the economy, continued inflation and rising interest rates will likely persist, and questions remain. Can the Fed cool inflation without a hard landing for the economy? Can the labor shortage weather any slowdown? And what could it mean for commercial real estate? Join us as we kick off the year with Ryan Severino (JLL Chief Economist), who will review the factors lining up for 2023 and what they mean for CRE transactions and other market conditions that impact environmental professionals.
