The Business Outlook forecast is sponsored by the Kelley School of Business, the Kelley School of Business Alumni Association, the IU East School of Business and Economics, and the IU Alumni Association East Region.

The IU Kelley School of Business will present its economic forecasts for the nation, financial markets, Indiana and communities across the state.

Since 1972, Kelley School faculty have presented their annual Business Outlook forecast around the state, usually joined by a local panelist. While the panel will not physically travel across the state, the school and its Indiana Business Research Center is hosting 10 regional events. The forecast is based on research from the Indiana Business Research Center, which has provided crucial economic information needed by many Indiana businesses, government units and nonprofit organizations since 1925.

At each presentation, the panel features faculty members from the Kelley School and IU, plus local panelists from other IU campuses and other universities, offering perspectives on the global, national, state and local economies and financial markets.

There will also be a Q&A session to answer attendee questions.

This year’s panel for Richmond’s forecast includes:

• Jason Troutwine, Vice Chancellor of External Affairs at IU East, moderator
• Kyle Anderson, Clinical Assistant Professor of Business Economics at the Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis, national and international panelist
• Ryan Brewer, Associate Professor of Finance, Division of Business, IUPUC, state panelist
• Russell Rhoads, Associate Clinical Professor of Financial Management, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University, financial markets panelist
• Oi Lin Cheung, Associate Professor of Finance and Director of the Business and Economic Research Center for the IU East School of Business and Economics, local panelist

The forecast is sponsored by IU’s Kelley School of Business, the Kelley School of Business Alumni Association, the IU Alumni Association, IU campuses and numerous community organizations.
