Breakout Lunch Session: Analyzing the Impact of the European Debt Crisis
As European governments continue to work toward a solution to the mounting debt crisis in the Euro zone, some experts are expecting member economies to fall into a recession. Such an outcome will likely cause inflation in European economies and impact currencies both inside and outside of the Euro zone, as well as put downward pressure on consumption of many key grades.
Join this special breakout session to see how RISI's new mill intelligence services can help you better understand how this will change the competitive landscape of many markets, as well as impact specific European mills. We'll run a variety of key market analyses and profile select mills to illustrate the current and projected state of the global economy.
