3 US Macro Overview March 20, 2015

4 Overview Real GDP increased 2.4% (Q4/Q4) in 2014, somewhat faster than the economy s potential growth rate, narrowing the output gap and reducing, though not eliminating, slack in labor markets. While the consensus forecast is for growth of around 3% in 2015, recent expenditure data have been choppy and generally inconsistent with that projection. Inflation running lower than expected, due in part to the appreciation of the dollar and a continued slowing in the rate of increase of medical care prices.
