Consensus forecasts of financial institutions
Article Abstract:
Financial forecasters see a modest improvement in the US economy. This will be led by consumer spending and investments in inventories and equipment. However, business fixed investment will still be weak from late 1992 until the 3rd quarter of 1993. The growth of money supply will also be slow. On the bright side, inflation will be low and national unemployment will go down. Short-term interest rates will trek upward while long-term loan rates will move sideways.
