The US economy ended 2018 with growth approaching 3%. US private sector confidence remains above average, the unemployment rate is close to 4%, and real wage growth has increased to a still modest 1- 1.5% per year. However, the outlook has deteriorated, with the economy is expected to decelerate in 2019-2020, and the risk of an economic contraction rising.
