A Soft Start to 2015, but Acceleration Expected
PR Newswire - Mon Mar 23, 8:00AM CDT
Economic growth took a hit in the first quarter of 2015 due to temporary factors, including the West Coast port strike and tough winter weather in parts of the country. Nevertheless, much of the economic activity expected at the beginning of the year should shift into the second quarter with growth strengthening in coming quarters, according to Fannie Mae's (OTC Bulletin Board: FNMA) Economic & Strategic Research (ESR) Group. Upbeat labor market conditions and positive consumer and business fundamentals should push growth to 2.8 percent this year, while slowing global growth abroad, geopolitical events, and increased financial volatility domestically due to speculation around the target fed funds rate loom as downside risks to growth.
