Consensus forecasts of financial institutions
Article Abstract:
The economy will continue growing slowly, according to a fall 1996 survey of financial institution financial forecasters. The forecasters expect the consumer sector to be soft, due to high consumer debt, and for inflation to remain moderate. Housing starts and automobile sales should remain moderate, and interest rates should fall slightly. The national unemployment rate will grow by the first quarter of 1998.
