Economists foresee a business slowdown and lower profits
Economists and financial leaders warn of a coming business slowdown driven by tight credit and anticipated slower profits. Key figures in the CEA and White House urge continued restraint on inflation, with forecasts of a weaker second half and possible recession later in the year. The Fed is expected to keep a tight-money stance until demand signals improve.
