Fading Tailwinds Will Limit U.S. Economic Growth in 2019, Says MBA’s Chief Economist

by John Nelson February 11, 2019

SAN DIEGO — Despite a strong U.S. job market, GDP growth will slow now that the tailwind from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has largely dissipated, predicts Michael Fratantoni, chief economist with the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). More specifically, Fratantoni is forecasting the nation’s economy to grow 2 percent in 2019, down from 3.1 percent in 2018. Passage of the sweeping tax bill in late 2017 and signed into law by President Donald Trump “led to some front-loading of some additional spending and benefits, particularly on the corporate tax side that showed up as this faster growth rate in 2018,” explains Fratantoni. “We also know that the budget agreement that was reached [early last year] really concentrated about $300 billion of spending particularly in 2018, maybe a little bit into 2019.” The comments from the veteran economist came during a special session Sunday on the opening day of the 2019 Commercial Real Estate Finance/Multifamily Housing Convention & Expo at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego. Jaime Woodwell, vice president of commercial/multifamily research for MBA, also provided an update on the state of the commercial/multifamily market during the session.
