SEPTEMBER 24, 2001
SPECIAL REPORT -- TERROR IN AMERICA -- THE ECONOMY
The World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks are likely to have far-reaching financial and economic effects:
-- Falling consumer confidence will drag an already stagnant U.S. economy into recession
-- U.S. economic contraction could make recovery difficult for weak European and Asian economies
-- Declining profit expectations will pull down global markets and increase financial volatility
-- The U.S. may lose its reputation as a safe haven, reducing foreign investment and driving down the dollar
-- More stringent security measures could boost the costs of trade and travel over the long-term
