The Summary of Economic Projections provided by the Federal Reserve on 21 March,
suggest higher US growth and lower unemployment with little rise in inflation.
This appears to

investment. This might lift productivity. Individual tax cuts might lift labour force participation.
This might also add to output.
The supply side improvements brought about by the tax cut legislation could improve the
outlook for the US economy.
