Deficit outlook split as economists weigh imports and oil costs
Some economists warn the deficit will worsen again this year due to rising imports and foreign oil bills, while others see a possible slight improvement in 1990. Boston Co chief economist Allen Sinai notes December overstates any real gain. Industrial output fell 1.2 percent in January, lowering the operating rate to 81.9 percent as auto slump persists. The 1989 deficit followed $118.5 billion in 1988, the smallest since 1984, yet remained above $100 billion for six straight years.
