Speaking<\/a> <\/strong>at the Maryland Bankers Association, Barkin emphasized the strength of the labor market and consumer spending as key drivers of economic resilience.<\/p>\n

Barkin suggested that economic growth is more likely to exceed expectations rather than fall short, based on current trends. However, he acknowledged the potential for stronger hiring to contribute to inflationary pressures. He noted that the labor market appears poised to favor hiring over layoffs, signaling confidence in the economy\u2019s forward momentum.<\/p>\n

Financial markets, Barkin observed, have started adjusting to the Federal Reserve\u2019s projections of a slower pace of rate cuts in 2025. He highlighted that long-term interest rates are stabilizing at levels lower than previously hoped but still reflective of cautious optimism.<\/p>\n
