Inflation Outlook Dips Not Indicators of Spiraling Prices
The Carter administration says consumer prices will rise 6.7 percent in 1977, 1.4 points above earlier estimates, while GDP growth is trimmed to 4.9 percent. Officials call the 6.7 percent gain a temporary blip, blaming January and February weather for higher food costs and noting other factors like gas prices. The deficit is revised down to 48.7 billion, aided by tax rebate and incentives withdrawals and lower projected spending. The Commerce Department puts first quarter GDP at 5.2 percent with a 5.8 percent inflation rate for the year.
