This report examines the findings of the latest National Association for Business Economics (NABE) survey regarding the US economic outlook for 2026. It provides a comprehensive analysis of expert opinions on economic growth, inflation, the labor market, and monetary policy.
The survey anticipates moderate growth of 2% in 2026, driven by stronger consumer spending and business investment. However, economists note that stricter tariff policies and immigration enforcement could negatively impact growth.
Inflation is projected to close this year at 2.9% and edge down to 2.6% in 2026. Economists attribute a significant portion of inflation to tariffs.
Job growth is expected to remain soft, with an anticipated average monthly increase of 58,000 nonfarm payroll jobs. The unemployment rate is projected to rise to 4.5% in early 2026 and remain steady throughout the year.
The survey anticipates a 25-basis-point interest rate cut in December, followed by an additional 50-basis-point cut in 2026.
Despite recent positive economic data, some experts remain cautious about the risk of a recession in 2026. They cite concerns about persistent inflation and market volatility.
The NABE survey provides valuable insights into the US economic outlook for 2026. However, investors and policymakers should exercise caution and monitor economic developments closely.
