Photo courtesy of the Indiana University Kelley School of Business How will deregulation, artificial intelligence and U.S. tariffs affect economic growth and the rate of inflation in coming months? Will the Federal Reserve again cut rates, with some governmental data suggesting a softening labor market looming? Will the economic picture become clearer in 2026?
And how will the Indiana economy perform, in comparison with the nation? What will result from the state’s new economic development strategy? Economists at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business will address these and other questions during their Futurecast 2026 economic outlook tour, which begins Oct. 29 in downtown Indianapolis. They will present economic forecasts for the nation, Indiana and communities across the state. Beginning with the 8 a.m. event at the Indianapolis Artsgarden, panelists will provide insights on predicted trends in gross domestic product growth, inflation, interest rates, employment and industry. They will evaluate the most likely scenarios overall for businesses and factors that may shape both the economy and financial markets next year.
