2025 Economic Outlook Recap: Insight, Innovation, and the Road Ahead
The Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce hosted another successful Economic Outlook this year—bringing together business leaders, community stakeholders, and professionals from across Southwest Riverside County for a morning of valuable insight and connection.
As the region’s premier annual economic event, Economic Outlook serves as a trusted forum for exploring the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping our local, regional, and national economies. Attendees gained a deeper understanding of the current business climate and left equipped with actionable knowledge to guide strategic planning in the year ahead.
This year’s keynote address was delivered by Dr. Christopher Thornberg, Founding Partner of Beacon Economics and one of the nation’s leading economists. Known for his sharp, data-driven analysis, Dr. Thornberg offered a comprehensive look at today’s economic environment—touching on inflation, employment, interest rates, and housing.
He provided a clear-eyed assessment of where the economy stands and what the indicators suggest for businesses and consumers moving forward. With his trademark clarity and humor, Dr. Thornberg challenged common narratives and emphasized the importance of staying adaptable in a dynamic economic landscape.
The Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber is proud to provide programs like Economic Outlook that inform, inspire, and empower our business community. Events like these are made possible thanks to the support of our sponsors, partners, and members who believe in our mission to strengthen the region’s economic vitality.
As we look toward the year ahead, one thing is clear: by working together, staying informed, and embracing innovation, our community’s opportunities are truly limitless.
