JUNE 2020
With the local and global challenges Los Angeles and its residents currently face (almost 28% of our population are foreign born), the commitment to positive change must remain our clear direction. We are a city with vital global connections and a significant global responsibility. Los Angeles is a city that is a communications hub for ideas, invention and dissent, creating pathways to global growth and solutions. It is our view at GPSLA that Los Angeles can provide the leadership and serve as a forum for dialogue needed to achieve the broader goals of inclusive economic growth and a life of expression, enrichment, and empowerment for all its residents.
 
We’re Together.

THE FX MARKET AND COVID-19’s IMPACT
