Consensus forecasts of financial institutions
Article Abstract:
The Winter survey among financial forecasters suggests that economic activity in 1999 will be slower. This would result from the slowing down of consumer spending and the minimal increases in unemployment rate. On another front, it was noted that sales of foreign and domestic vehicles will rise substantially, and will then remain stable at a high level by the year 2000. Overall inflation is expected to hover around 1.9%, annually, while consumer price index will increase by 2.2% annually through the year 2000.
