Economic growth predictions for 2025 increased by the United States' central bank
The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), founded in 1913, has announced an upward revision of its economic growth rate forecast for this year. In a recent announcement made in Washington, the Fed revealed that its new forecast is a 1.6 percent increase from its previous projection of 1.4 percent.
This revision comes after the Fed's previous economic growth rate forecast, announced in June, which predicted a growth of 1.4 percent for this year. The change in the Fed's economic growth rate forecast was also accompanied by a revision in the inflation rate expectation.
The Fed expects the inflation rate to be 3.0 percent, a figure that is higher than the historical average. However, it's worth noting that the inflation rate expectation was not revised upward or downward in the latest announcement. The Fed's inflation rate expectation for this year remains at 3.0 percent.
It's important to clarify that the Fed's economic growth rate forecast and inflation rate expectation are separate projections. While the economic growth rate forecast has been increased, the inflation rate expectation has not been affected by the revision in the economic growth rate forecast.
The Fed's current economic growth rate forecast is higher than its previous forecast, signalling a more robust economic outlook for the remainder of the year. The Fed's new economic growth rate forecast and inflation rate expectation were both announced in Washington, providing clarity and direction for economic policy decisions moving forward.
The U.S. Federal Reserve continues to monitor economic conditions closely and will adjust its projections as necessary to reflect the latest data and trends. As always, the Fed's primary goal remains to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.
