United States(US economy in 1997 and forecasts for 1998)

Article Abstract:

US domestic demand grew by some 4% in 1997, and consumer spending did not slow down as expected. Business investment grew by over 10% in 1997, with investment in producer durable equipment growing faster than investment in structures. Long-term interest rates have dropped as a result of the Asian financial crisis, which looks set to slow the US economy. The labor market is tightening, but inflation continued to drop in 1997. Uncertainties about the Asian crisis mean that US interest rates should not be raised in the short term.
