Fed's Kaplan: US GDP expected to grow 2.25% this year

The gross domestic product (GDP) in the US is expected to expand by 2.25% in 2020, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said on Thursday.

"My outlook for growth would be even firmer if not for Boeing and coronavirus situations," Kaplan explained. "Having a little more trade stability will help global growth this year, less uncertainty should help stabilize business fixed investment."
