An Economic and Interest Rate Outlook
with Joel Naroff
September 17, 2015

Sponsored by

With the public markets experiencing global turmoil, we know you won't want to miss our timely and relevant season opener breakfast! All eyes will be on the Fed’s FOMC Meeting as they consider how to respond to recent market fluctuations and whether now is the right time to raise rates since the start of the 2008 financial crisis. Joel Naroff, President and founder of Naroff Economic Advisors and one of our region’s most honored economists, will guide us through his outlook on the Fed’s rate decision and its implications for the US and global economies as well as the risks and opportunities it presents for the M&A markets. Equally important, he will discuss current economic hotspots - such as China, Europe, Russia, Greece - and how they will impact the economic environment in which we operate as buyers and sellers.

Working with companies across the country, he is an economic advisor to firms including Metro Bank, Beneficial Bank, Emerald Asset Management, ATON Financial Management, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, Realtors, Trefoil Properties and Spectrum Alliance. He consults with banks on asset/liability, economic growth and credit risk issues, corporations on economic risk as well as business and marketing opportunities. He is an economic and financial advisor to state and local governments. He has testified in front of Congress on economic and fiscal policy matters.

A nationally recognized economic forecasting expert, Joel has received numerous honors. In 2011, for the second time in five years, he received the National Association for Business Economics Outlook Award as the top economic forecaster. He was awarded the Lawrence Klein Award for Blue Chip forecasting excellence, the Bloomberg Business News top economic forecaster, and MSNBC’s top forecaster. He was the first independent economist to win the CBS MarketWatch Economist of the Month award. Joel is also the author, with veteran reporter Ron Scherer, of “Big Picture economics: How to Navigate the New Global Economy”, published in April 2014.

Joel is often quoted in the national press and writes a column and a blog for the Philadelphia Inquirer, does business commentary for KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia and can be heard often on the national news radio networks. An accomplished public speaker, Joel’s humor and unique ability to make economics understandable have brought him a wide following. His presentations on national, international, regional and industry topics show how evolving economic trends can impact businesses, governments, educational institutions and not for profits.

From 1999 to 2009, Joel served on a consulting basis as Chief Economist for Commerce Bank/TD Bank. Before that he was Chief Economist at First Union Bank and First Fidelity Bancorp. Prior to moving into banking, Joel was a tenured professor in the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia, is a past Chair of the American Bankers Association’s Economic Advisory Committee and is a past President of the Philadelphia Council of Business Economists.
