Ignore Rising Inflationary Forecasts, Warns Economist David Levy
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)-- The government is pouring money into the economy. The money supply is growing rapidly. Analysts everywhere warn that the result will be surging inflation in the years ahead. "Not so fast!" says economic forecaster David Levy in the latest (May 27) Levy Forecast, just distributed to clients of the Mount Kisco, NY-based Jerome Levy Forecasting Center (www.levyforecast.com). In his most recent Levy Forecast, the nation`s oldest newsletter devoted exclusively to forecasting and analyzing economic conditions, Levy says the "chorus of inflation warnings" is all wrong. On the contrary, he says our nation stands "on the eve of a great era of disinflation and deflation." Levy points out that in the years ahead, the combination of chronic unemployment and chronic economic weakness -- in spite of the huge fiscal boost from the federal government -- will keep margins under pressure, companies focused on cost controls, commodities cheap, and, most importantly, wage costs under pressure. On the outlook for 2009, Levy argues that GDP growth and corporate profits could improve somewhat in the second quarter, but this will likely not herald the recession`s end.
