In this inaugural Economic Forum, some of the keenest minds in the financial industry – top women on Wall Street - will highlight key directions they perceive in:
  • GDP and global growth – equity market sectors to watch
  • Banking landscapes –international competition, the shape of regulation
  • Strength of the US dollar – where is the wealth and what to expect
  • Consumer strength and real estate effects

This lively discussion will challenge perceptions and bring a vital spectrum of expertise to focus on core issues in our rapidly evolving financial environment. In future we plan to explore in-depth the forces in play around the American worker and the forecast in 2010 and beyond.
