As we enter a new decade and what feels like economic improvement to most, please join us for an economic overview from Union Bank’s Kei Matsuda who will give us the real scoop on the numbers behind the recovery and what to expect in the coming year both nationally and in the Bay Area. Kei will be discussing the latest economic data – including Gross Domestic Product, employment, inflation and housing – to illustrate the answers to important questions such as: › How strong and sustainable is economic recovery in the US?

› Is California lagging behind the nation in recovery?

› What will fuel economic expansion?

› When will the Fed start raising interest rates?

As the only bank economist based in California, Mr. Matsuda is able to provide a unique perspective on the economy. .
