The US economy is projected to grow 2.2% in 2024. The labor market remains strong but is expected to soften, with the unemployment rate projected to rise. Consumer spending is expected to grow around 2% in 2024, slightly subdued compared to the previous year.

The upside scenario would involve non-inflationary growth supported by a robust labor market, consumer resilience, and stronger productivity growth.
