Despite predictions of a recession, the economy in 2023 exceeded expectations, outperforming forecasts and demonstrating strong growth. The consensus view for a recession was proven incorrect, as the economy performed better than anticipated. However, looking ahead to 2024, there is a possibility of slower growth or even stagnation.
