UCLA Anderson Forecast Sees Higher Interest Rates and Restrained Growth in 2024, but Likelihood of U.S. Recession Fades

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, March 13, 2024

LOS ANGELES, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The UCLA Anderson Forecast ended 2023 ringing an up note as its December forecast asserted that the long, lingering possibility of a recession had faded because of expansionary fiscal policy, new national industrial policy and a national consumer base that continued to spend, despite the perception of economic uncertainty. The first forecast of 2024 continues these themes, while also noting that the recurring threats of a government shutdown are short-lived and no longer sounding any serious alarms, and the strong second half of 2023 will carry into the new year.

Key Points: 
  • The forecast now expects less inventory adjustment in the current quarter and a moderation of consumer spending growth.
  • As a result, the GDP growth forecast for the first quarter of 2024 Q1 is lower, but still a respectable 2.2%.
  • However, the impact of higher interest rates will be felt in restraining growth in 2024.
  • The upside of the forecast is productivity growth thanks to new technology that drives higher wages and higher GDP.

  • "Throughout this campaign, Republic tried its best to intimidate us, but we stayed united and secured a strong first contract," said Keith Purcell, a driver at Republic Services East Yard and a member of the negotiating committee.
