  • Report To The US Secretary Of The Treasury From The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee Of The Securities Industry And Financial Markets Association

    Date 06/11/2013

    11/6/2013

    November 2013 Letter to the Secretary
    Dear Mr. Secretary:
    Since the Committee last met in late July the economy has continued to expand at a moderate pace. The October government shutdown not only restrained the growth of economic activity, but has also made it more difficult to assess the state of the business cycle, as a number of economic data releases have been delayed due to the temporary shuttering of federal statistical agencies. With this caveat in mind, it appears that real GDP growth in the third quarter was not materially different from the 1.8% annual pace registered in the first half of the year. Activity growth in the labor market has downshifted in recent months, and the housing market has shown signs of cooling. However, the Federal Reserve has been more accommodative than market expectations, a development which has eased financial conditions. As the distorting effects of the government shutdown fade, the economy should regain firmer footing, though another round of fiscal debates in the first quarter loom as a potential downside risk to the outlook.
