UCLA Anderson Forecast In COllaboration with
UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate presents
June 2021 Economic Outlook
The pandemic induced recession has created new challenges for commercial real estate. What will be the future of offices after more than one year of remote working? Will brick-and-mortar retail be able to compete with surging e-commerce? For the economy, will low borrowing costs, additional fiscal spending, and the release of pent-up demand lead to overheating and inflation? The June UCLA Anderson Forecast conference will discuss the latest forecast and outlook for the changing economy, with a focus on commercial real estate in California and nationwide.
