The Economic Verdict 2012

One of AIM's favourite speakers is back in early 2012 with an economic outlook for the year ahead.

BT Financial Group's Chief Economist, Dr Chris Caton prepares us for 2012 at an engaging breakfast event in Brisbane on Wednesday 1 February and on the Gold Coast on Friday 3 February.

The timely session will cover a range of take-outs for managers, including insights and information on growth forecasts, comparison of national debt, trade performance and export growth.

Chris Caton makes economic policy and planning accessible and relevant to managers through his characteristic straight-talking style and by injecting a healthy dose of humour into his presentations.

Dr Caton has delivered annual economic forecasts to AIM audiences around Australia for over a decade.
