Emerald Bay Connection


Good Morning,

DID YOU KNOW ? At the end of 2017, the value of the world’s real estate reached $280.6 trillion. Real estate is far and away the most significant store of wealth, representing more than three and a half times the total global GDP. (Forbes)

DID YOU KNOW ? Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell sees the U.S. economy generating highly optimistic expectations, with the unusual combination of low unemployment and inflation fueling hopes for an extended expansion. "Since 1950, the U.S. economy has experienced periods of low, stable inflation and periods of very low unemployment, but never both for such an extended time as is seen in these forecasts." (CNBC)

DID YOU KNOW ? The USA was named the world's most competitive economy by the World Economic Forum (WEF) this week as US equity markets bounced back nicely. In its Global Competitiveness Index, WEF - known for its annual economic forum in Davos, Switzerland - ranked the U.S. as the most competitive of 140 economies, the first time the nation has reached the top spot in 10 years. Singapore and Germany ranked 2nd and 3rd. Rankings were based on 98 indicators including workforce diversity, press freedom, labor rights, and disruptive businesses.(CNBC)
