LOS ANGELES, March 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- UCLA Anderson Forecast and Cathay Bank today announced the release of the 2022 Cathay Bank | UCLA Anderson Forecast U.S.-China Annual Economic Report. This is the fifth year of the collaboration, which offers insights into the economies of the U.S. and China.
2022 U.S.-China Annual Economic Report focuses on recent performance of the two economies & an outlook of what's ahead.
The 2022 report focuses on the recent performance of the U.S. and Chinese economies, along with an outlook on what's to come. It also looks at the U.S.-China Phase I trade agreement at its two-year anniversary and addresses the global supply chain disruption, coming to a perhaps unexpected conclusion.
In their analysis, Forecast director Jerry Nickelsburg and his co-author, economist William Yu, assume future COVID-19 variants will lessen over time. "The basic message is that, despite the disruption of the past two years and the move to more onshoring of manufacturing, global supply chains are still expanding," the report says.
"This publication provides perspective and some indication of what to expect in the coming year, particularly to those with close business ties with China," said Chang M. Liu, Cathay Bank President and CEO. "Especially during these turbulent times, it is important to stay informed to better plan for future decision-making."
The 2022 Annual Economic Report is available for download in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese on the Cathay Bank website or on the UCLA Anderson Forecast website. An update to the report will be published during the year.
