New Facts: RBC forecasts 2026 stagflation-lite for U.S.
Analysts at RBC reported on December 3, 2025, that the U.S. economy is likely to enter a stagflation lite scenario in 2026, with GDP growth expected to remain below the typical 2% trend.
The RBC analysis highlights that this economic outlook is driven by a combination of stagnant growth and persistent inflationary pressures.
As a result of these conditions, consumers may face rising prices without corresponding wage increases, impacting overall purchasing power.
The report indicates that this economic environment could challenge policymakers as they navigate inflation control while fostering growth.
There is no indication from RBC regarding specific measures or policies that might be implemented to address these challenges in 2026.
