US Economic Update – April 2015

Economy has got off to a slow start in 2015. While we expect it to be a temporary slowdown, we have revised our 2015 forecast to 2.7% (previously 3.1%). If achieved, this would still represent an above trend rate of growth, and is consistent with further labour market improvement.
