We polled 52 economists about the future of inflation, consumer prices, interest rates and unemployment in the US. Here's what they had to say 👇 ft.com/content/de778e…
Should we fear inflation? Probably not. Despite a 'pro-inflationary environment', most economists surveyed believe the Fed will intervene, with 75% responding that market inflation expectations are unlikely to surpass 3% by January 2022 ft.com/content/de778e… 
Elevated inflation will compel the Fed to raise interest rates at least twice by the end of 2023, the FT/IGM survey shows ft.com/content/de778e…
The results align closely with projections published by the Fed earlier this month, as consumer prices surge well beyond even some of the highest estimates, with red-hot demand colliding with widespread supply chain constraints ft.com/content/de778e…
Economists disagreed substantially regarding what GDP growth would look like for 2021.
Their median growth forecast was 6.5%, but they differ greatly in their individual predictions as well as on whether they see more downside risk or upside potential ft.com/content/de778e…
