The Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association (HDMA) and MacKay & Company announce Bill Strauss, senior economist and economic advisor of the Chicago Federal Reserve, will present a session entitled The Global Economic Overview at the eighth annual Heavy Duty Aftermarket Dialogue (HDAD) conference next month in Grapevine, Texas, preceding Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW).
In his session, Strauss will discuss individual global economics with a historic, present, and anticipated outlook in key geographical regions. He will cover what is currently impacting the relationships between countries including USMCA, global tariffs, and the possible 2020 economic slowdown.
