Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
PNC expects further increases in the federal funds rate through the rest of this year, to a range of 4.25% to 4.50% at the end of 2022. The federal funds rate is expected to peak between 4.50% and 4.75% in early 2023, before falling in early 2024 as inflation ebbs and economic growth slows.
Positive Outlook
- Strong labor market with average monthly job growth well above the pre-pandemic pace.
- Unemployment rate at a 50-year low.
- Supply-chain difficulties will continue to ease into 2023.
- Strong wage growth and the recent decline in energy prices will support consumer spending.
- Economic growth is expected to be below its long-term trend in the near term as the Federal Reserve continues to tighten monetary policy in an attempt to reduce inflationary pressures, but does not expect a near-term recession.
Challenges Ahead
- Labor shortages will remain a constraint into 2023.
- Recession risks over the next few years are elevated because of tighter monetary policy.
