Over 45 members gathered at the courtyard of Radisson Blu Elizabete Hotel to celebrate the summer season with a BBQ event. Welcomed by AmCham President Zinta Jansons, members were addressed by Richard Damstra, Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy who delivered greetings on the occasion of 245th Anniversary of the American Independence Day. A special thank you goes to our host Radisson Blu Elizabete Hotel for delicious food and cozy location and to Chocolette Confectionary for supporting us with RED chocolate treats!

On June 8, Līva Zorgenfreija, Chief Economist of Swedbank Latvia provided an in-depth macroeconomic outlook and engaged in a lively discussion with members. While the Latvian economy did relatively well in 2020, the performance was worse than the rest of the Baltics, but strong growth is expected again in 2022.
