A gradual slowing in growth and inflation is still possible, an outcome predicted by a majority of private sector forecasters in the U.S. .There is, however, a substantial risk that the cyclical pattern that has characterized U.S. economic performance over much of the postwar period will be repeated - inflation pressures build and monetary conditions tighten until the economy experiences a sharp slowdown. 1, record 9, English, - tightening%20of%20monetary%20conditions

Un atterrissage en douceur demeure possible et rallie la majorité des prévisionnistes du secteur privé aux Etats-Unis. On ne peut toutefois écarter le risque que le profil cyclique qui a caractérisé dans une large mesure l'évolution de l'économie américaine au cours de l'après-guerre ne se répète. En d'autres termes, on assisterait à une montée des tensions inflationnistes et à un durcissement de la politique monétaire, jusqu'à ce que l'économie subisse un ralentissement prononcé. 1, record 9, French, - mont%C3%A9e%20des%20tensions%20inflationnistes
