Economic Growth Outlook Subpar Again as 2016 Progresses
PR Newswire - Tue May 17, 8:00AM CDT
Fannie Mae's (OTC Bulletin Board: FNMA) Economic & Strategic Research (ESR) Group lowered their full-year economic growth forecast to 1.7 percent, down from 1.9 percent growth in the prior forecast and 2.2 percent at the start of the year. The downgrade is due largely to disappointing first quarter growth of 0.5 percent. The ESR Group expects economic growth to bounce back as we move through 2016 amid improved financial conditions, with consumer spending remaining an engine for growth and the housing and government sectors making positive contributions. However, it will not be sufficient enough to overcome the damage done during the first quarter of the year.
