We are excited about our speaker, Dr. Michael Ivanovitch, President of MSI GLOBAL,  INC., a company he founded to conduct research on world  economy,  geopolitics and investment strategy.  Before joining the OECD, Dr. Ivanovitch was an international economist at the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York. Dr. Ivanovitch has been on the faculty of the Columbia University's Business School for ten years, teaching economics, international business strategy and a seminar on world economy. He also held teaching appointments at INSEAD and HEC, the two top-rated business schools in Europe. He has published numerous articles on international economics and finance, and is a frequent
speaker to bankers, corporate executives, institutional investors and money managers. Dr. Ivanovitch holds Ph.D. (economics), and M.B.A. from Columbia University and a European law degree.

 

Topic Description: In the first nine months of this year, net exports have contributed one percentage point to our economic growth.  Without that modest support our economy received from trading with the rest of the world, our recession would have been deeper and more painful.  That
support is likely to strengthen in the months ahead as a result of the dollar?s more competitive exchange rate and a vigorous monetary and fiscal stimulation implemented by our major Asian and European trading partners.  Our ongoing trade adjustment should also enhance the effectiveness of our own measures to restore demand, output and
employment.  Drawing on his company?s research on world economy, geopolitics and investment strategy, Dr. Ivanovitch will address the prospects of transition to our steady and sustainable economic growth and its implications for asset markets and asset classes here and abroad.
