Event Speakers
Michael Feuz
Economist, ITR EconomicsOutlook for 2026 and Early 2027
ITR Economics’ outlook for 2026 and early 2027 offers critical insights for business leaders preparing for the next phase of the economic cycle. While early 2026 is expected to bring a mild rising trend, ITR’s leading indicators suggest that momentum may fade for some industries as the year progresses and into 2027. Understanding these shifts will be essential for strategic planning and decision-making.
We will examine expected changes in GDP and Industrial Production growth, helping leaders anticipate market turns, manage risk, and understand industry-specific impacts.
With clear guidance on how to navigate the coming landscape, you will be better equipped to make informed decisions and stay ahead of industry peers throughout the next stage of the business cycle.
