US economy poised for 'solid' growth in 2025
The US economy is on solid footing right now.
Economists at Bank of America expect it to stay that way through next year.
In a research note released to reporters on Monday, BofA's economics team led by Claudio Irigoyen projected the US economy will grow at an annualized rate of 2.4% in 2025, higher than current forecasts for 2% growth, according to the latest Bloomberg consensus estimates.
This comes despite uncertainties surrounding
the economic policies of President-elect Donald Trump, including campaign promises of tariffs on imported goods, tax cuts for corporations, and
curbs on immigration, which economists have viewed
as inflationary
Those proposals could also hinder economic growth and pressure an already bloated federal deficit, further complicating the Federal Reserve's path forward for interest rates.
