GS repeats: There is no need for a recession
“Despite the good news on growth and inflation in 2023, concerns about a recession among forecasters haven’t declined much. Even in the US, which has outperformed so clearly on growth in the past year, the chart shows that the median forecaster still estimates a probability of around 50% that a recession will start in the next 12 months.This is down only modestly from the 65% probability seen in late 2022 and far above our own probability of 15% (which in turn is down from 35% in late 2022).”
