- Banana inflation 🍌 as a case study in import-driven price hikes
- Tariffs and trade policy as emerging inflationary forces
- Volatile travel prices, especially airfare spikes ✈️
- Persistent pressure from Owner’s Equivalent Rent

Greg and Laura also weigh in on the possibility of dissent within the FOMC, and why monetary conditions, supply chain shifts, and policy choices are creating some unusual inflation dynamics.

The initial April 2025 NABE Outlook presents the consensus macroeconomic forecast of a panel of 41 professional forecasters. The initial survey, covering the outlook for 2025 and 2026, was conducted March 18-25, 2025. In order to capture rapidly changing economic conditions, a flash survey was conducted April 7-9, 2025, and presents the consensus 2025-2026 macroeconomic forecast of 32 professional forecasters out of the 41 initially surveyed. The NABE Outlook Survey originated in 1965,and is one of three surveys conducted by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE); the others are the NABE Business Conditions Survey and the NABE Economic Policy Survey. Founded in 1959, the National Association for Business Economics is the professional association for those who use economics in their work. NABE has over 2,800 members and 44 chapters nationwide. Kathy Bostjancic (chair), Nationwide; Martin Holdrich, Woods & Poole Economics, Inc.; Mervin Jebaraj, University of Arkansas; Tendayi Kapfidze, Wells Fargo; Jack Kleinhenz, CBE, National Retail Federation; Brian Lewandowski, University of Colorado; Caitlin Patrick, National Association for Business Economics; Rebecca Rockey, Cushman & Wakefield; and Ken Simonson, Associated General Contractors of America, conducted the analysis of survey responses for this report. Edited by Kate Anderson. The views expressed in this report are those of the panelists, and do not necessarily represent the views of their affiliated companies or institutions. This report may be reproduced in whole or in part with appropriate citation to NABE.
SUMMARY: “NABE panelists lowered their forecasts for economic growth for 2025 and 2026 following the April 2nd tariff announcement,” said NABE President Emily Kolinski Morris, CBE, chief economist, Ford Motor Company. “The Flash Survey calls for inflation-adjusted gross domestic product to increase by 1.3% this year, down from 1.9% in the initial April survey. Similarly, the outlook for 2026 economic growth is 1.4%, down from 1.9%.
“In addition, half of the participants place the probability of recession in 2025 between 25% and 49%, while 37% place the odds at 50% or higher. This compares with 8% who placed the odds of recession in 2025 at 50% or higher just prior to the April 2nd tariff announcement.”
“Inflation forecasts for this year were lifted higher, while projections for next year were little changed in the Flash Survey,” added NABE Outlook Survey Chair Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist, Nationwide. “Survey respondents now forecast the consumer price index will accelerate to a 3.4% annual rate by the end of 2025, up from the estimated 3.0% annual pace in the initial April survey.
“Similarly, the estimate for the personal consumption expenditure price index was boosted to an annual 3.5% by year-end, up from 2.7% in the initial survey. Panelists did not alter the forecast path for the Federal funds rate in 2025, continuing to call for a 25-basis-point rate cut in Q3 2025 and another 25-bps rate reduction in Q4 2025.”

The U.S. enjoys a safe harbor investment premium—a value that investors place on U.S. safety, soundness and stability. Along several different dimensions, however, U.S. political risk has risen over the last eight years, and there is some evidence to suggest that markets may be underpricing the current level of political risk in the U.S. What impact would a modest increase in risk have on U.S. bond yields -- and ultimately wealth and GDP? Join our panel for a deep dive into the repercussions of increased uncertainty and risk, and the erosion of the safe harbor advantages.

In today's society, consumer attitudes and preferences are influenced by increasing political polarization and societal division. This panel aims to explore how political views affect consumer choices and delve into the phenomenon of politically motivated purchasing and boycotts. We will examine consumers' preference for brands taking a political stance versus remaining apolitical, drawing on recent events where major retailers took a political stance. We will also look at cases where companies reported changes in sales due to their political stances or those of their endorsers.The objective of this session is to analyze the factors driving brands' decisions to take a political stance and to examine variations in responses to brand behaviors across different demographics and ideological spectrums. We will then discuss the implications of these consumer patterns on business strategies.

The April 2024 NABE Business Conditions Survey report presents the responses of 49 NABE members to a survey conducted April 1-9, 2024, on business conditions in their firms or industries, and reflects first-quarter 2024 results and the near-term outlook.
COMMENTS: “The April 2024 Business Conditions Survey results suggest a still-strong business environment, with more respondents than in the January survey reporting rising sales and profit margins in the previous three months,” said NABE President Ellen Zentner, chief U.S. economist, Morgan Stanley. “However, fewer panelists than in January expect their firms’ sales or profit margins to increase in the next three months.”
“The results also suggest that inflation is still with us, but may be easing,” added NABE Business Conditions Survey Chair Carlos Herrera, chief economist, Coca-Cola North America. “Almost two-thirds of panelists expect prices charged to remain unchanged in the next three months.”

Over the past decade there have been significant changes in how goods and services are delivered to consumers. As the retail landscape evolved, many firms have developed their own e-commerce platforms, fulfillment centers, and distribution networks. These changes have accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic and have not only impacted the retail trade sector but also other associated industries such as wholesale trade, transportation, and warehousing.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is exploring alternative measures of output and labor productivity for retail industries to expand our understanding of the changing retail landscape. This webinar will discuss the importance of productivity and explore alternative output concepts in the measurement of retail labor productivity.

Welcome back to ECON-versations with NABE! This episode is a webinar replay from the Opportunities for Rural America webinar, held on August 29, 2023.
As we navigate a world of slow population growth, structural impediments to higher labor force participation, unstable global supply chains, and price/wage growth, we need to consider how we maximize production from our human and physical capital. Maximizing efficient production cannot be disaggregated from where the production and people are located. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. saw both employment and population move to the most urban parts of the nation. This was not just the move away from agricultural communities that we have seen for centuries; it included movement away from smaller towns and micropolitan areas. Smaller towns and more rural areas in the aggregate continue to underperform urban areas across a number of metrics, including employment-to-population ratios, business and entrepreneurial growth, and poverty rates. Perhaps we are leaving opportunities on the table to leverage the workforce and land in rural areas to create stronger and more inclusive economic growth. Since the pandemic, low (and falling) immigration and birth rates, continued congestion and land scarcity in urban areas, and remote work opportunities, create even greater potential. But how do we engage our rural areas and improve urban-rural connectivity? Join this webinar to learn more about policies that can help us build geographically inclusive and efficient growth.

Seasonality is a common feature of economic data and if not properly addressed, it can cloud our judgment about what the data are telling us. Seasonal adjustment methodologies have been developed to remove these predictable patterns to reveal the underlying trend and cycle. When is seasonal adjustment appropriate? What are the best methods? What are the pitfalls and challenges in analyzing seasonal and seasonally adjusted data? Over the next hour, the session will look at these issues from a user’s perspective to help develop a deeper appreciation for working with economic indicators.

The consumer has been remarkably resilient in this economic cycle, continuing to spend in the face of high inflation and rising interest rates. This reflects the health of the labor market and solid household balance sheets. But there have been shifts in consumer behavior that could become increasingly evident as consumers face economic hurdles. Experiences and necessities, particularly food, have been prioritized, while bigger ticket durable items have fallen out of favor. In this webinar, the panelists will explore real-time spending insights to discuss consumer choices, understanding the what, where, and why of consumer spending, with a particularly close look at spending on food.

Today's podcast is the webinar replay of the March 14th webinar on the economic impact of a binding debt ceiling, presented by the NABE Policy Roundtable. Unthinkable as it may be, there is a very real possibility that, some time this summer or fall, the US Treasury will hit its borrowing limit.

Today's podcast is the webinar replay of the March 1st webinar on rekindling U.S. productivity for a new era. For the past 15 years, US productivity has been lagging. A handful of states, sectors, firms, and cities have done well; others have not. Today, the country faces looming challenges that heighten the productivity imperative: debt, inflation, labor participation, an aging workforce, and the cost of the energy transition. How much is at stake for the economy if the US can restore productivity to its long term historical levels? What will it take to make it happen? Join this webinar to hear answers to these questions and more.

Today’s podcast is a replay of the February 21st webinar on disentangling rent index differences, based on a working paper from the Cleveland Fed.
Abstract: Prominent rent growth indices often give strikingly different measurements of rent inflation. We create new indices from Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) rent microdata using a repeat rent index methodology and show that this discrepancy is almost entirely explained by differences in rent growth for new tenants relative to the average rent growth for all tenants. Rent inflation for new tenants leads the official BLS rent inflation by 4 quarters. As rent is the largest component of the consumer price index, this has implications for our understanding of aggregate inflation dynamics and guiding monetary policy.
