ATLANTA, Ga. /eNewsChannels/ — The recent U.S. economy rebound is expected to continue and housing looks to be bottoming out, Federal Reserve Bank official Michael Chriszt will tell the Georgia Association of Business Brokers at a meeting Tuesday, May 25, 2010.
Michael Chriszt, an assistant vice president with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s research department, thinks the current economic rebound is sustainable because most sectors are up. Mr. Chriszt will describe factors in this upturn in economic activity and share his thoughts about where the economy is headed at the monthly meeting of the Georgia Association of Business Brokers (GABB).
“The financial system continues to heal and the worst appears to be over for housing,” said Mr. Chriszt, who is responsible for the Atlanta Fed’s Regional Economic Information Network (REIN), which supports the Bank’s monetary policy role. “Manufacturing is running at a strong pace and most services are performing better. And, most importantly, labor markets are on the upswing.”
Mr. Chriszt’s speech and the GABB’s meeting are both free and open to the public, and will be held on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, at the South Terraces Conference Center, 115 Perimeter Center Place, Atlanta, GA, 30346. Networking begins at 9:45 a.m. with a free light breakfast before the group’s 10:30 a.m. meeting
