The Milken Institute's 2022 Public Finance Forum convened virtual cross-sector innovators to address the $4 trillion public finance sector through infrastructure deployment, ESG integration, and adaptive public-private partnerships. General Motors Chief Economist Elaine Buckberg outlined a resilient U.S. economic outlook marked by 3.9% growth and easing inflation, while OneTen's Maurice Jones highlighted a critical need to dismantle credential barriers to advance Black employment and close the racial wealth gap. Complementing these social and economic themes, the event featured commitments from major automakers toward electrification and Alpha Ledger's introduction of blockchain technology to modernize municipal bond markets for greater efficiency and equity.
