20 According to the International Monetary Fund, global growth is likely to remain subdued this year.

25 Conclusion: Modest Growth and Stable Inflation Progress on bringing down unemployment will continue to be slow. There will likely be a pickup in real GDP growth over the balance of 213, with a further step-up in economic activity as we move into 214. Inflation expectations appear to remain well anchored. Although the national unemployment rate has dropped to 7.3 percent, broad labor market conditions remain mixed, with some indicators showing progress and others revealing little or no improvement. There are some encouraging developments in the economy, but more months of improving economic data, especially employment data, would help give confidence that the economy is experiencing sustainable momentum. 25
