2021 is winding down as we prepare for the challenges and ongoing uncertainties in 2022. There are opportunities and risks ahead and we will explore them in terms of government responses, consumer trends, market opportunities, labor issues, and production costs. We will also assess business responses to the projected changes in the economic landscape. These forces will shape the trends ahead and drive our tactics and strategies. We will also:

Assess business demand for the rest of 2021 and for 2022.
Look at a system of key leading indicators that are proven to signal cyclical turns in the economy and markets.
Present market outlooks and discuss issues that have an impact on your profitability via resource allocation, budgets, expectations, and strategic planning.
Present the unintended consequences of the massive stimulus programs and infrastructure spend that will impact businesses in the years ahead.
Assess interest rate and other financial market trends, including the latest information on stock market performance.
