  • A factor that is boosting economic activity in the world economy is low real interest rates.
  • The world economy has been able to withstand elevated energy prices in part because oil prices adjusted for inflation remain below prices attained in the late 1970s.
  • Strong employment growth will ensure that the US economy will record another year of solid economic growth.
