After the economic recovery, with GDP growth standing at 5.7% in 2021, the year 2022 was marked, as expected, by a slowdown, with GDP growth standing at 1.6%. Forecasts indicate that the US economy will maintain this trend in the coming years (1.0% in 2023 and 1.2% in 2024). This movement is associated with forecasts of a slowdown in the levels of private investment, especially real estate investment, which is expected to remain moderate in 2023. In the opposite direction, the easing of restrictions in the global supply chain will mitigate the negative effects of all the uncertainty in the global markets.
Price pressures will ease as energy prices stabilise and demand slows, the latter linked to tight monetary policy on the part of the FED. In 2022, the inflation rate is set at 8.1%, and is expected to slow down over the next two years: 3.5% in 2023 and 2.2% in 2024.
The unemployment rate falls in 2022 to 3.7%, and is expected to increase slightly to around 4% in the next 2 years.
