Briefing Call
Join John Fagan and Brendan Walsh with Markets Policy Partners for part II of their CARES Act presentation, where they will share with us their perspectives on:
- What have we learnt so far from CARES 2.0 and 2.5? Will there be a 3.0?
- What kind of new programs and relief should we be expecting to be proposed in CARES 3.0? Will it just be an influx of new funding?
- Have different segments of the economy been treated differently? Big corporations vs. small business applicants?
- What is the Main Street Lending program and what important factors is it important to know about?
- What concerns do businesses have to be aware of when accepting the PPP loans, aren’t they just grants?
- General economic observations and outlook, will the CARES programs have long lasting effects on the US economy?
