Inflation Curbs and Prospects for 1956 Economic Outlook
The administration’s measures to curb inflation include large spending cuts estimated to trim the current-year outlays by 2.6 billion dollars and a reduction of overseas military commitments. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates five times since 1955, with lending costs rising and a mixed impact on credit growth. Arms spending had buoyed production, but a broad curtailment is expected to ripple through the economy, generating spotty regional results and widespread profit squeezes across industries. Some fear a recession, while supporters view the policy as a step toward longer-run stability and steadier growth than the recent volatile period.
