United States' White House Council of Economic Advisers releases the 2026 Economic Report of the President

The White House Council of Economic Advisers has released the 2026 Economic Report of the President, its annual review of the previous year’s economic policies and their implications for current and future economic conditions. The report is organised into 14 chapters, each focused on an Administration policy priority, spanning fiscal policy, regulation, trade, energy, artificial intelligence, housing, supply chains, labour market policy, healthcare, retirement investing, and a macroeconomic outlook. Among the chapters, the report provides estimates of the economic and fiscal effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, including impacts on GDP, wages, and debt, and measures the costs of regulation alongside estimated savings from deregulatory reforms. It also examines expanding access to private equity investments through defined contribution retirement plans, including effects on diversification, risk-adjusted returns, retirement income, and broader capital market and real economy outcomes, and quantifies GDP impacts it attributes to DEI hiring and to capital misallocation toward environmentally focused ESG investments. A concluding chapter reviews macroeconomic developments over the past year and provides forecasts under the Administration’s proposed policies.
