On Friday, January 6, the Maryland Bankers Association hosted its 16th annual “First Friday” Economic Outlook Forum at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, MD. 



The Forum – held in participation with the Maryland Association of CPAs, Maryland REALTORS®, Maryland Chamber of Commerce, and Maryland Retailers Association – examined the impact of Maryland’s businesses on the region’s economy over the past year. The attendees discussed expectations for the year ahead and networked with fellow professionals in the state’s banking and business sectors.

Chairman and CEO of Sage Policy Group and the Maryland Bankers Association’s Chief Economist, Anirban Basu, kicked off the annual Forum with an update on the region’s economy. Following his presentation, Basu moderated a panel of experts including Scott Love, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Strategist at Wesbanco; Kurt J. Rankin, Vice President and Senior Economist of PNC Financial Services Group; Eylem Senyuz, Senior Vice President and Senior Global Macro Strategist of Truist Advisory Services; and Luke Tilley, Chief Economist and Head of Asset Allocation and Quantitative Services at Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors.

“I am honored to have had the opportunity to speak with Maryland’s bankers and industry leaders again this year,” said Anirban Basu, a returning presenter. “I hope that each and every attendee learned something valuable from our experts here today that they can take with them into the new year.”
