Outlook and Risks
 National economy. Generally favorable national economic environment—GDP growth has
picked up, and Blue Chip and other forecasts are for stronger growth in FY 2015 and FY 2016.
 Federal government. Most likely will continue to be a stabilizing influence for DC; slower decline
in spending will lessen the negative impact of this sector on DC’s economy.
 Private sector diversification. With the federal government moving to the sidelines, the private
sector is expected to drive job and wage growth in an increasingly competitive national economy.
 Population. Population has grown 9 years in a row, adding 91,757 (16.2%) over that time.
Population growth is set to continue to boost the tax base. The extent of future population growth
depends on job opportunities, the quality of public services, and affordability of housing.
 Stock market. The recent gains in the stock market, which has risen rapidly over the past year,
underscores the importance of national and international capital markets to DC’s tax base.
 Office market. The strength of this sector’s contribution to DC’s tax base growth depends on its
ability to obtain tenants, remain profitable, and attract international investors.
