The Benefits of the EB-5 Program During a Downturn Economy
The U.S. economy has seen unemployment increasing at an unprecedented level with 16 million people of new unemployment claims in only three weeks. As a consequence, consumer confidence and the impact on the financial industry is all but imminent. During periods of crisis U.S. companies find it harder to secure loans, or capital investors. Dr. Fernandez will be speaking about the benefits of the EB-5 program in a downturn economy.
