Back to the 90s: What the Economy and Interest Rates Mean for Educational Institutions

The normalization of monetary policy and interest rates has at times been a painful process. Could this be setting the stage for future opportunities? We will provide a detailed discussion on the global economy, inflation, monetary and fiscal policy, as well as the impact of demographics, technology, supply chains, and geopolitics. This will include addressing lessons learned from recent history. Is the “New Normal” the “Old Normal”? Can history provide us with a guide to the future?
What steps colleges and universities take to better navigate around the macroeconomic and geopolitical events that are unfolding.
