(Continued from page I0) can be used as a gauge, it tells us that the consumer will falter without additional incentives after four years of healthy gains. With employment growth slowing and debt ratios and personal bankruptcies rising, the consumer may have to rest early in the year. The declining attitudes reported in business surveys combined with tax reform changes suggest that production will not provide much help over the near term as well.

Two potential pluses for next year are a projected improvement in the trade deficit, which would add to real growth, and a continued low (although higher) levelof inflation. One important point to note about the trade deficit is that we need to measure any meaningful reduction in the trade deficit by improvement in exports and the jobs that they create. Lower imports by themselves will not move the economy out of the doldrums.

So the outlook for 1987 is the same song we heard this yearslow but positive growth with low but slightly higher inflation. Look for real GNP to come in around 2olo on average following an expected 2l/20/o rise in 1986. Inflation should accelerate to 3-40/o on average after rising only 20lo this year. With the economy still growing at a below average level, the Federal Reserve may find the need to reduce interest rates further in the first half of the year. Economic activity is expectedto pick up laterin the year, and interest rates should' move moderately higher at that time. Housing starts will respond to any lowering in mortgage rates, but an improvement in residential construction activity will be limited. Commercial construction. due to the glut of oflice space and the change in the tax law, should decline.

The wild cards for 1987 are the direction of oil prices and the impact of tax reform. Oil prices are expected to remain in the $15-18 per barrel range, but a break in either direction is equally likely.

Tax reform represents a change in the rules for both businesses and consumers. lt will be difficult to determine the exact effect of such sweeping changes. We can expect consumers to have more money on average and for businesses to have less on average, so consumer spending could receive a modest boost. However, borrowing will be more restrained and selective, so the consumer may not go out and buy a new car with the added income. As for businesses, they will find it easier to cancel existing projects than to begin new ones, so look for capital spending to be lackluster next year.

(Continued from page 30) degree of balance is likely. Florida, Atlanta, and other areas that have basked in building booms are likely to show somewhat slower growth as construction activity continues to fade. At the same time. economic growth in the remainder of the region should accelerate.

U.S. manufacturing has not rebounded much yet, despite the precipitous decline in the foreign exchange value of the dollar. But in 1987, it is likely that manufacturing will finally turn the corner.

While construction activity will be influenced by the unpredictable course of interest rates, it is apparent that construction will be on the wane in 1987. Quite cyclical in nature, construction has seen the up side of the cycle over the past few years. By 1987, the worm will have turned.

In addition to a cyclical letdown, tax reform will restrain nonresidential and multi-family housing activity. Overall housing activity is likely to decline, but remain at a high level.

A more geographically balanced Southeast economy, growing at or above the national rate, will emerge in 1987. Although construction will be dragging, the long-awaited manufacturing rebound is expected to take up the slack.
