U.S. Economy Forecast: Blue Chip Economic Indicators outlook for the year ahead

Every month, Wolters Kluwer provides corporate and government decision-makers with an outlook on the performance of the U.S. economy for the year ahead. Our Blue Chip Economic Indicators report features forecasts from more than 50 top analysts of some of America's largest and most respected manufacturers, banks, insurance companies, and brokerage firms.

Since 1976, we’ve been polling business economists about their insights on U.S. economic growth, inflation, interest rates, and a host of other critical indicators of future business activity – including GDP (Gross Domestic Product), Consumer Price Index (CPI), industrial production, income, corporate profits, treasury bill rates, unemployment rates, housing starts and vehicle sales.

Blue Chip Economic Indicators is regularly cited by national media outlets, including Reuters, CNBC, MSNBC, U.S. News & World Report, USA Today, The New York Times, and more.
