The Conference Board Economic Forecast for the US Economy
November 09, 2022 | Publication
The Conference Board forecasts that economic weakness will intensify and spread more broadly throughout the US economy over the coming months with a recession to begin around the end of 2022. This outlook is associated with persistent inflation and rising hawkishness by the Federal Reserve. We forecast that 2022 Real GDP growth will come in at 1.8 percent year-over-year and 2023 growth will slow to zero percent year-over-year.
While the US economy did not slip into recession earlier this year, despite several negative GDP prints, we believe that a broad downturn is now underway. Nevertheless, due to better than expected economic growth in Q3 2022, we upgraded our forecast for Q4 2022 from -0.8 percent to -0.5 percent. Meanwhile, recent guidance from the Federal Reserve on the interest rate trajectory heading into 2023 led us to downgrade our forecast for 2023. We now expect the recession to extend into Q2 2023 and the rebound in H2 2023 to be less pronounced.
Soft economic growth seen over the course of much of 2022, coupled with persistently high inflation readings, are consistent with a stagflationary environment. While easing supply-side constraints and a more hawkish monetary policy should help cool inflation over the coming quarters, rising interest rates will tip the US economy into a broad-based recession. This contraction will impact extremely tight labor markets and drive the unemployment rate higher. Still we anticipate the jobless rate may peak at 4.5 percent, which by historical standards is quite low. This expectation reflects severe labor shortages that may continue despite the downturn. We expect the recession to last three quarters and that inflation will remain above the Fed’s 2-percent target until at least 2024. This period will also exhibit stagflationary characteristics – though not as severe as those seen presently.
