U.S. economic growth should get a lift from stimulus measures under Donald Trump's presidency, but it won't hit the speed he promised anytime soon. Companies, workers, investors and governments around the globe are hoping to get a clearer picture of Trump's economic policies after his inauguration Friday. For the time being, the IMF has nudged up its U.S. growth forecast for 2017 to 2.3%, from the prediction of 2.2% it made in October. That's a good deal faster than the 1.6% growth the IMF estimates the U.S. economy grew in 2016.
