Economic, Real Estate and Credit Outlook 2023 - Wilmington | Moody's Investors Service | 19 June 2023 | Chase Center on the Riverfront, 815 Justison St, Wilmington, DE 19801, USA

Recession risks are uncomfortably high, as the economy struggles with high inflation, and high rising interest rates. And while recession is not inevitable, the next 12-18 months will be a difficult time for the economy, the financial system, and real estate markets. We're meeting in person for the first time in 3 years to discuss the economy’s prospects. Chief Economist and economic experts from across Moody's Analytics will be there to provide their insights and answer your questions.

During the event, we will discuss:
• The macroeconomic outlook, as Mark assesses whether the economy can avoid a near-term downturn and the threats to any optimism.
• The forces buffeting state and metropolitan area economies and their prospects.
• The housing market recession, declining house prices, and the risks this poses to the mortgage market and broader economy.
• The new normal in commercial real estate.
• The ties between the business cycle and the credit cycle through the prism of corporate credit risk.
• What’s in store for consumer credit borrowers and lenders across the credit spectrum.
