1968 Economic Outlook Foresees GNP Rise in US Economy
An Iowa State University economist, Gene Futrell, outlined a 1968 growth scenario with GNP expected between 835 and 845 billion dollars, up 4.4 to 7.6 percent from 1967. He noted higher prices could lift real output by 8 percent, barring tax changes, and highlighted private spending on plant facilities, housing recovery, and consumer demand as key drivers, along with projected increases in state, local, and federal spending. He warned mortgage credit and interest rates could affect housing strength, and outlined implications for agriculture amid strong domestic demand and export prospects. A potato harvest note appears unlikely to be relevant to the economic overview.
