Economies Are 'Fragile,' but Firms Push Robust Strategies

摘要

Despite some positive signs and 3.6% world economic growth projected for this year, global economies remain "fragile," construction-industry economist Anirban Basu told Global Construction Summit attendees in New York City last month. U.S. growth was just 2.2% this year, with annual growth not hitting 3% since 2005, he told the Oct. 23 gathering, sponsored by ENR and Marcum LLP.
