Abstract

In May 2014 the Northwest Indiana Coincident Index rose 0.6 points from 137.6 (revised up from 137.5) to 138.2, the largest single-month increase since February 2012. This strong growth continues the trend of expansion following the significant weather-related decline in the early months of 2014. The forecast for economic growth over the next six months remains optimistic with moderate growth of about 1-2%.

Description

The Indiana University Northwest School of Business and Economics developed the NWI Coincident Index to accurately gauge the dynamics of our region's economy. Think of it as a monthly “snapshot“ to measure our region's progress. Are we expanding? Contracting?
