Blerina Uruci, Chief Economist at PlaiShi, stated that the inflation rate in the United States may exceed 4% in the coming quarters, and costs are expected to be passed on to consumers. Despite facing inflationary pressures and potential recession, the overall economic outlook remains cautiously optimistic.

A new economic stimulus plan is expected to be announced before Congress recesses in August, which may include tax relief and incentives for corporate investment.
