Slow-Motion Slowdown

from Notes on the Week Ahead · host Dr. David Kelly

Across the economy, the outlook is for slower growth.  Slower growth in demand, in employment, in profits and in inflation.  Recession is by no means certain.  However, a slow-growing economy is rather like a slow-moving bicycle – the slower its moves, the easier it is to topple it over.  And so, in the spring of 2023, there is a significant risk of recession starting before the end of the year.
