‘Tis the season of prognostication, and in an age of one-word answers to complex questions, we’ve also witnessed a great deal of #hedged-language #forecasts ending in the suffix “ish,” so not to be outdone, we’d say that 2020 is looking rather 1.8ish!
What on Earth could this mean? We would suggest, firstly; that rather than seeing a calamitous #recession in 2020, or a strong cyclical resurgence of #growth, we instead think that real #GDP growth is likely to moderate slightly to around 1.8%, its average level since 2005. 
Further, over the next year, we think that #CorePCE #inflation may firm somewhat to around 1.8%, which is just above the average level for the measure over the past 15 years.
