Based on several indicators, leading economists are predicting that there is a 100% chance that America will enter a recession in 2023.
CBN provides more details:
“The latest Bloomberg projections show a 100 percent chance of a recession in the next year. And one of the world’s top credit rating agencies now says the US Gross Domestic Product will grow by just half a percent next year, down from earlier projections.“
In addressing the probability of a recession, Phil Kerpen, an American market policy analyst, told CBN:
“I think it’s unlikely that it can be avoided. The question is how deep and how long it will be.”
The recession is being largely driven by rapidly rising interest rates being used to combat inflation, which was caused by reckless government overspending.
