Economic Outlook: An Updated Look at Threats and Opportunities in a Time of Uncertainty

As the world continues to reel from the economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many still remain uncertain as to what the future holds. Despite careful optimism for a turnaround in the second half of the year, questions still linger regarding how specific economic sectors will recover and whether or not government intervention thus far will be enough to mitigate the immediate and ongoing shock from a global shutdown.

Listen in for the second of a two-part series on the current state of U.S. and global economics in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and eventual emergence from economic shutdowns. Leading the conversation is Michael C. Hudgins, Managing Director of Hines Proprietary Research Group, who will provide research-based insights into how the pandemic has and continues to modify certain economic behaviors, what immediate and long-term impact economic shutdowns will have on our global economy, and how specific sectors of commercial real estate can expect to recover.
