25 ❶Weak energy sector Challenges and Issues Price of oil has flattened close to $50 per barrel? Rig counts appeared to have reached a trough Oil production continues to fall and expected to decline more forcefully going forward ❷ Strong dollar and lackluster global growth (uncertainty) Texas is the number one exporting state in the nation and one of the top regions in the world Texas exports will be expensive facing weak global demand
26 Jan-07 Jun-07 Nov-07 Apr-08 Sep-08 Feb-09 Jul-09 Dec-09 May-10 Oct-10 Mar-11 Aug-11 Jan-12 Jun-12 Nov-12 Apr-13 Sep-13 Feb-14 Jul-14 Dec-14 May-15 Oct-15 Mar-16 Jan-07 Jun-07 Nov-07 Apr-08 Sep-08 Feb-09 Jul-09 Dec-09 May-10 Oct-10 Mar-11 Aug-11 Jan-12 Jun-12 Nov-12 Apr-13 Sep-13 Feb-14 Jul-14 Dec-14 May-15 Oct-15 Mar-16 Challenges and Issues Exports (All Commodities) (Year-over-Year Percent Change) Real Trade Weighted Value of U.S. Dollar (Index January 2007 = 100) United States Texas United States Texas Appreciation Depreciation Note: Adjusted for inflation with Bureau of Labor Statistics export indices.

27 Challenges and Issues ❸ Monetary unwinding best way to normalize monetary policy Goal of monetary policy is to manage exit from low interest rates so economy converges to full employment with stable prices while avoiding financial instability With current economic conditions and global volatility, can it be done?
28 Challenges and Issues ❹U.S. mid- and long-term economic growth prospects Medium-term potential growth forecast to average just above 2 percent for the next several years, significantly below historic average growth rate of 3 percent Downgrade reflects effects of labor force participation declining and modest prospects for productivity growth Distribution of income and wealth (increasing poverty levels) Boost long-term growth through: investment in infrastructure, raising educational outcomes, improving tax structure (e.g. corporate tax), and developing and expanding a skilled labor force (immigration reform and job training).
29 U.S. economy will continue to grow in 2016 while forecast for Texas suggests moderate expansion The U.S. economy is expected to grow around 2.2% in Household disposable income is growing Housing markets appear solid Household and corporate balance sheets are in relatively good shape (aided by historically low interest rates) Wages appear to be rising possible sign of reaching full employment Headwinds are weak energy and non-energy investment, drag from net exports, and slowing consumer demand.
30 Moderate 2016 outlook for Texas economy Employment growth will slow Dallas Federal Reserve: Initial forecast, Texas % most recent %, currently standing at 0.8% Houston employment expected to fall by less than 1%
31 U.S. economy has been characterized by slow growth and uncertainty, and now Texas economy faces the same issues Some uncertainty continues to pose downside risk to Texas economic outlook: Duration of low oil prices Strength of the U.S. economy Federal Reserve s exit strategy U.S. shale role of swing producer (cyclical behavior) Growth in world economy
