The Federal Reserve's December meeting minutes indicated that staff forecasted the USA's economic conditions to remain robust. The growth of real GDP is expected to decelerate slightly compared to previous baseline forecasts, and unemployment is anticipated to rise slightly, yet will remain close to the staff's estimate of the natural unemployment rate. In the staff's baseline forecast, the inflation estimate for 2024 is slightly higher than what was predicted in the last meeting, reflecting some unexpected upward trends from recent data, and inflation is expected to fall to 2% by 2027, consistent with the predictions made in the November meeting.
