US Economic Outlook 2026

The year 2026 has already proven complex and, at times, turbulent for the U.S. economy—especially for manufacturers navigating an increasingly uncertain global environment.

Shifting trade policies, tariff discussions, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions continue to reshape the landscape, while currency fluctuations add further complexity for transatlantic business.

In this context, key questions arise:
How resilient is the U.S. economy?
What should businesses watch closely?
What lies ahead—and how are developments impacting South Carolina?

Join South Carolina’s Secretary of Commerce Harry Lightsey and Dr. Joseph Von Nessen, Research Economist at the University of South Carolina, for an insightful discussion on the current environment and the economic outlook.

Gain valuable perspectives on the forces shaping the road ahead.
