Yesterday we were pleased to host the 36th BABC Annual Economic Forecast Luncheon Presented by BABC Patron Member HSBC welcoming 70 guests once again to The City Club of San Francisco.

We were delighted to welcome back Sean Randolph, Director at the Bay Area Council Economic Institute. Despite severe West Coast storms preventing him from joining in person, HSBC U.S. Economist Ryan Wang provided valuable insight virtually. The conversation was expertly moderated by Richard Waters, Tech Writer at Large for the Financial Times.

Discussion centered on the evolving U.S. tariff landscape, the extraordinary concentration of AI investment, with the San Francisco Bay Area capturing roughly 60% of global AI funding in 2025, the role of immigration on California’s economic trajectory, and the broader societal shifts shaping 2026 and beyond.

We were honored to welcome representatives from the British Consulate-General in San Francisco and thank our in-kind sponsor Delta Air Lines for their continued support.
