The expansion that followed the “great recession” is approaching it ninth birthday. While the first five years were occupied with reaching "normalcy," now the question has shifted toward concern over the maturity of the expansion. Discuss the current global, national and regional economies and how we navigate into 2018. Special emphasis will be placed on evidence of resurgence in the manufacturing sector, the outlook for consumer spending and the retail sector, the role of currency valuation on the balance of trade, the ongoing normalization of interest rates and monetary policy, performance of real estate markets, the recovery in the financial services sector and the implications of ongoing changes in the political and regulatory climate for the accounting industry.
