The U.S. and Tampa Bay's Economic Outlook 2025: Tariffs, Taxes, Trade-Offs.  Insights for Tampa Bay Leaders

Overview

Join us for an in-depth discussion as our expert panel unpacks what lies ahead for the U.S., Florida, and Tampa Bay economies in 2025 under a new administration in Washington D.C. With the nation narrowly avoiding a recession in 2024, a decline in inflation, and the Federal Reserve easing rates, the economic landscape is shifting at all levels.

Key questions on everyone's mind:

  • Will inflation continue its descent toward the 2% target nationally and in Florida?
  • Could the Federal Reserve reverse course and raise rates again, impacting Tampa Bay's housing market?
  • What are the key risks and opportunities across major sectors, including Florida's tourism and real estate?
  • How will Tampa Bay's projected 2.6% economic growth in 2025 compare to national figures? 

Our panelists will provide insights into the critical factors shaping the $29 trillion U.S. economy and Florida's $1.58+ trillion economy, explore emerging trends in Tampa Bay's job market and housing sector, and identify potential trade-offs that businesses and policymakers may face in the year ahead.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable perspectives on national, state, and local economic trajectories to prepare your organization for the challenges and opportunities in the coming year.
