Modest Economic Growth

There was a time after last year’s elections that many experts were predicting a sharp bounce in economic growth in the U.S. As indicated by writer Nelson Schwartz, that sharp bounce is beginning to look more like a small bump. It is not that the economy is necessarily weakening or that a recession is imminent. Rather, it appears that the pace of growth this year won’t be much more than it was last year or the year before that.  

Anirban has more. 

Anirban Basu, Chariman Chief Executive Officer of Sage Policy Group (SPG), is one of the Mid-Atlantic region's leading economic consultants. Prior to founding SPG he was Chairman and CEO of Optimal Solutions Group, a company he co-founded and which continues to operate. Anirban has also served as Director of Applied Economics and Senior Economist for RESI, where he used his extensive knowledge of the Mid-Atlantic region to support numerous clients in their strategic decision-making processes. Clients have included the Maryland Department of Transportation, St. Paul Companies, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Players Committee and the Martin O'Malley mayoral campaign.
