Solid Economic Forecast

A publication, tied to Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, forecasts the state’s economy will expand in 2019 by a solid 3.2 percent. But the Indiana Business Review also warns a decades-long economic expansion nationwide and in Indiana may be due to come to an end of its natural cycle. Ryan Brewer, the author of the forecast is an associate professor of finance at Indiana University-Purdue University. Brewer says the state will see the strongest growth in the first quarter of 2019. He says the uptick will result rising wages and strong consumer spending.
