Economic outlook widens with July defense aid and imports
July defense aid shipments reached 3.17 billion dollars, up 11 percent from 1968, while imports rose to 4.07 billion, up 12 percent. The trade surplus for 1969 may not exceed last year, inflation shows no sign of easing, and a 5 percent annual rise is forecast through December. Wage and price controls are deemed unwise, and the composite economic picture dipped slightly in July. Wholesale prices fell slightly, driven by lower food costs, though the inflation trend remains unsettled.
