Consensus forecasts of financial institutions

Article Abstract:

The economy will experience very slow growth until spring 1997, with slight increases in unemployment and uptrends in disposable income and consumer spending. Inflation is forecast to remain moderate, while industrial utilization will remain at a decent level until the first six months of 1997. Short-term interest rates are seen to slip a little. Automobile sales will dip slightly. These were among the key findings of a spring 1996 survey of US financial institutions.
