Abstract:
The Wilmington, North Carolina area economy grew by approximately five percent over 1987. A mid-year review of local economic activity indicates that 1988 will be similar to 1987. At the national level, restrictive monetary policy enacted in 1987 will cause a slowdown in economic activity beginning in the second half of 1988 and continuing into 1989.

Abstract:
Similar to previous years, there is a remarkable agreement among forecasters as to the general direction of business activity for the coming year. The consensus is that 1962 will be a good year despite many overhanging economic problems. Many agree that 1962 has a potential to be substantially better than the previous year, but very few see the possibility of a super boom or speculative excess.
