As the Federal Reserve works to combat inflation by raising interest rates, there’s a 75% chance the U.S. economy will shrink and slip into recession. “A recession is not inevitable, but it would take near-perfect monetary policy to avoid one,” Ben Ayers, dean of the Terry College of Business and presenter at the Georgia Economic Outlook, told the Jekyll Island audience and The Brunswick News. Ayers added the downturn won’t be nearly as drastic as recent recessions. Nationally UGA economists predict a .7% decline in GDP. Statewide, Georgians will only see a .2% decline in GDP.

“I think it’s going to be very difficult for the Federal Reserve to cool down the economy to contain the highest inflation in 40 years without triggering a recession,” Jeff Humphreys, director of the UGA Selig Center for Economic Growth, told WABE. However, he continued, the downturn will be mild and short across the nation and Georgia won’t fare as poorly as other states. “For the last three, four, five years, Georgia has been setting record after record in terms of landing large economic development projects, and that’s one of the numerous reasons why I think Georgia will not really get hard by this particular recession.”
