South Florida’s economy is likely to continue growing at a gradual pace in 2014 despite a widely anticipated increase in interest rates as the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy. That is the general view of seven South Florida professionals with a diversity of expertise in commercial banking, capital markets, law, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, technology-based business development and wealth management.
Daily Business Review interviews with these professionals suggest, among other 2014 scenarios, that a stronger U.S. economy will give the South Florida economy a lift, that the area will remain fertile for innovative technology companies, and that home construction will be a contributor to the area’s economic momentum.
