Guam's economy has been greatly impacted by the COVID pandemic which has affected drastic changes in visitor arrivals and consumer spending, federal and military direct investment (and related programs), private Asian and US investment, transportation links, and Geo-political factors beyond our borders, among others. What will be the key economic issues that influence the growth and development for regional economies in the coming year?
To respond to this question, we have invited Guam's leading business representatives to share their views and insights on the economic outlook for Guam. These presentations will be followed by a Q&A discussion with webinar participants.
