Join the Lone Star District of the Precision Metalforming Association on February 27 for an overview and outlook of the Texas economy. An emphasis will be placed on the recent performance of the state’s manufacturing sector.
As a part of these duties, Sigalla is responsible for production and writing of the Beige Book, which surveys approximately 100 businesses representing every major regional industry and helps the Federal Reserve monitor the status of the regional economy. This survey is a useful supplement to published regional statistics because it is often more timely, in depth and forward looking.
Sigalla heads the team that produces the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey and writes the monthly release. She also conducts economic research and is a regular contributor to Research Department publications, including Southwest Economy.
Following the presentation, a networking dinner and plant tour of Genesee Stamping and Fabricating, Inc. will be provided. Register today, as spaces are limited. For more information on The Federal Reserve Bank of Texas, visit their web site at http://dallasfed.org/index.cfm.
