I collect, dissect and evaluate a variety of business, economic and consumer news to help me make financial decisions not only for myself but also regarding what is published on this site.

I read a lot!

And I listen and watch a lot, too.

And there are many "voices" I find trustworthy, and who over time prove themselves to be reliable, thoughtful, and, more times than not, spot on with regard to their forward-looking viewpoints.

Mohamed El-Erian is one of those "voices," and in these times of economic and financial unease, I believe is someone you can look to for thoughts on what is likely to come next.

He is currently the Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, the corporate parent of PIMCO (a global investment management firm). He is widely published, writing on the topics of international economics and finance in media such as The Economist, Bloomberg, Foreign Policy and The Wall Street Journal, to name a few.  Additionally, he's a contributor on many business-focused television channels and programming.

Below is a link to his recent article in Foreign Affairs titled "The Coming Coronavirus Recession" in which he provides a well-reasoned overview of what he thinks will result - economically - from the coronavirus pandemic and the worldwide efforts to quell its spread.

Additionally, you can follow him via his Twitter account for his most recent thoughts on the economy as well as links to his television interviews and articles in which more detail can be found.

Mr. El-Erian is by no means the only "voice" you should be listening to, but if you want to pare down your list of sources for how the U.S. economy is faring, and should fare in the coming months and years, he's a good one to keep.
