The shuttering of the economy last spring triggered the largest contraction in business activity since the Great Depression. With COVID-19 vaccinations raising hopes for a return to something approaching normalcy later this year, what will the coming expansion look like? How long will it take for the domestic economy to return to full employment? Fiscal and monetary policies suggest that the risks probably lie to the upside. With interest rates already at levels anticipated a year from now, how high can they go from here? What are the prospects for housing going forward? Will the local economy continue to lag the rest of the country? Please join FHLBNY Financial Economist Brian Jones for a discussion of these and other timely topics.
