The 2026 President’s Economic Report: AI Revolution, Private Equity Access, and Supply Chains
Economic Report of the USA President for April 2026: Annual Report of the Council of Economic Advisers.
To the Congress of the United States:
In the inaugural year of my Administration, we’ve laid the groundwork to make the American economy great again. My policies—including landmark tax cuts, record deregulation, renewed trade deals, and secure borders—unleash lasting job creation and drive business expansion. By revitalizing the economy and making America the best place in the world to start and grow a business, my Administration is succeeding in making life better for the average American family. This Report will detail some of the policies and goals of my second term so far.
My Administration, and the American people, inherited an underperforming economy. Under Biden, inflation hit 40-year highs and real wages shrank substantially for the typical worker. Although some saw their paychecks increase, inflation eroded purchasing power, hitting lower earners the hardest. Meanwhile, seemingly strong job growth was bolstered by government and adjacent sectors, and paid for by the taxpayer. The first summer after I assumed office, Americans faced the prospect of the largest tax hike in history. Uncontrolled illegal immigration inflated the price of housing and lowered real wages for Americans—all while burdening taxpayers with hundreds of billions of dollars in benefits paid to these illegal immigrants annually. During my Presidency, Democrats in Congress allowed federal government funding to lapse, causing significant economic harm.
So far, we have averted and alleviated these problems. My Administration and Republicans in Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), the largest tax cut in American history. For the second time, I passed landmark tax legislation helping workers and businesses to flourish and spark an investment boom. Passed in my first term, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) succeeded in delivering an additional 2.5 percent of real GDP growth and a $4,992 increase in average real wages compared to CBO baseline estimates. The OBBBA not only cemented key TCJA provisions, but also delivered more wins the American people voted for.
The Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) estimates that, in the first four years of implementation, OBBBA will increase real GDP by 4.6 to 4.9 percent, which equates to about 1.1 to 1.2 percent higher average growth per year. Strong fundamentals demonstrate our progress towards this goal.
Permanently extending lower tax rates and full expensing of capital investment eases obstacles to business formation and expansion. These and other relevant provisions are estimated to increase inflation-adjusted (real) investment by 7.3 to 10.2 percent in the first four years of implementation. This investment will drive more and better jobs for Americans, higher wages, and enhanced competitiveness in the global arena. In 2025, real nonresidential business fixed investment increased 5.5 percent, significantly exceeding the 3.7 percent pace recorded in the final two years of the previous Administration. Some of this investment is incentivized to occur within my landmark Opportunity Zones, which draw businesses to overlooked pockets of our nation.
I pledged and delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and tax relief for seniors through the OBBBA. In addition to this targeted relief, families will continue to receive a doubled Child Tax Credit, and all taxpayers will benefit from lower tax rates relative to TCJA expiration. In addition to this immediate relief, the OBBBA will generate long-run gains for Americans. After four years, OBBBA will boost average annual real wages $4,000 to $7,200 per worker across all industries and demographics, corresponding to $7,600 to $10,900 higher annual after-tax-take-home pay for a typical family with two children. These gains will support American workers in recovering the roughly $3,000 in spending power they lost during the previous Administration. To give the next generation a stake in the American economy, the OBBBA will provide every American child born from 2025-2028 a Trump Account worth $1,000, to which their parents, their parents’ employers, and philanthropists can contribute.
When combined with deregulatory policies and tariffs, this monumental legislation will substantially reduce the deficit. The TCJA demonstrated that instead of levying higher taxes on a slow-growing economy, we can collect greater revenues at lower rates from a faster-growing one. By growing the economy, our policies will decrease federal debt to 94 percent of GDP versus a 117 percent TCJA-expiration baseline over a 10-year budget window. In the long term, this sounder fiscal path will deliver lower interest rates, more affordable housing, reduced inflation, and lasting economic stability for American families.
My Administration is right-sizing the Federal workforce and clamping down on waste, fraud, and abuse. In the final two years of the Biden Administration, the public sector drove over 25 percent of job growth. In my Administration to date, the private sector has accounted for the overwhelming majority of net nonfarm job growth, helping to put the economy on a sustainable trajectory. Due to this and other cost-saving initiatives, the Federal deficit is down $362 billion in 2025 compared to 2024.
Excessive regulation, often imposed by unelected bureaucrats, stifles growth and raises the cost of living for Americans. My Administration is committed to removing 10 regulations for each new regulation imposed, with many agencies exceeding this goal. The American people will continue to hear about deregulation throughout this Report and throughout my Administration as the Federal Government steps out of the way of American prosperity.
A number of these deregulatory actions target the energy sector. Misguided energy policies have increased costs and created unnecessary barriers to business and innovation. My Administration pursues an agenda of energy abundance. We need more energy and are committed to delivering it. Accordingly, my Administration has aggressively removed red tape, reduced permitting timelines, and ended the preferential treatment of intermittent energy sources over dispatchable energy. These reforms help deliver abundant energy precisely when America needs it—now. Energy is a critical input to virtually every good and service we produce; its abundance is critical to the competitiveness of our businesses and our national security.
For decades, Americans have been resigned to an unfair position in international markets. Once the foremost manufacturing nation in the world, we have ceded many of our industries and jobs to other countries. We offered access to our market in the name of “free trade,” while other nations engaged in unfair trade practices, tariffed our goods to protect their own key industries, and pursued nonmarket practices. As a result, Americans have lost not only access to important manufacturing jobs, but control of some industries critical to our national security.
Tariffs have already catalyzed trade deals that substantially open foreign markets to American firms and aim to close our persistent trade deficit. These trade deals are broad and deep. Some have contributed to the trillions of dollars of new pledged investment into the United States, while others have lowered existing tariffs and nontariff barriers on U.S. exports and even worked to dismantle the epidemic flow of fentanyl into our country. These agreements work toward an overarching aim: to bring about more advantageous and sustainable trade in the long term.
Under the previous Administration, millions of illegal immigrants were permitted to cross our borders. Record flows of illegal immigrants depressed wages for Americans, inflated the demand for housing, and drained the welfare system. My Administration has closed the border, reducing illegal border crossings to effectively zero, and continues to reverse the economic damage imposed on American taxpayers and communities as a result of unfettered immigration.
The full suite of my policies is invigorating our economy and making life more affordable for Americans. My trade policy now incentivizes companies to invest, manufacture, and hire in America—a goal made possible by pro-growth tax policies, diminishing red tape, and abundant energy.
In just the first year, we have enacted far-reaching reforms whose full benefits will compound over this term and beyond. As they do, I will work tirelessly to continue to deliver wins for Americans, and to put Americans First. The policies and successes outlined in the Report that follows demonstrate how we can make America great again.
The White House, April 2026
The Annual Report of the Council of Economic Advisers
Letter of Transmittal
Council of Economic Advisers, Washington, April 13, 2026
Mr. President:
The Council of Economic Advisers herewith submits its 2026 Annual Report in accordance with the Employment Act of 1946, as amended by the Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act of 1978.
Sincerely yours,
Pierre Yared, Chairman
Aaron Hedlund, Member
Chapter 1: The Economic and Fiscal Benefits of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
Passed on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) builds upon the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) from President Trump’s first Administration. It does so by making the TCJA’s reduced tax rates and increased deductions permanent while also expanding its provisions for full expensing of investments. Simultaneously, the OBBBA contains provisions that reduce government spending. The CEA’s analysis demonstrates that the law will meaningfully boost economic growth, increase workers’ paychecks, and bend the arc of national debt in a more sustainable direction.
The successful legacy of the 2017 TCJA is clear. It yielded higher economic growth and lower unemployment rates than projected by the CBO. Real workers’ earnings grew roughly twice as fast as in the prior period, with workers at the bottom benefiting most. The typical family saw the highest income rise on record, and poverty reached record lows. The TCJA was also fiscally sound; the economy achieved the same level of revenue in 2024 as forecasted without the Act, accomplished through higher GDP growth.
Without the OBBBA, key parts of the 2017 tax cuts would have expired, leading to a $4 trillion tax hike over 10 years, the largest nominal increase in history. The CEA estimates that if the TCJA had expired, the level of U.S. real GDP would have been about 4 percent lower after 4 years, leading to about 6.1 million fewer full-time-equivalent jobs.
Pillar One: Business Tax Provisions. The CEA quantifies the effects of the business tax provisions using a model of the user cost of capital (UCC). The CEA finds that, compared with the TCJA’s expiration, the OBBBA’s provisions for low tax rates for small businesses raise investment by 0.9 to 2.7 percent and boost real GDP by 0.1 to 0.2 percent during the first four years, raising real wages by about $2,300 to $4,000. The permanent full expensing of equipment and R&D boosts investment permanently by 2.7 to 3.2 percent, with GDP climbing by 0.2 to 0.3 percent. Combined, all business tax provisions will generate an increase in investment of 6.7 to 9.7 percent during the first four years, with average annual wages about $3,900 to $7,100 higher.
Pillar Two: Individual Tax Relief. The OBBBA extends and strengthens the larger child tax credit and standard deduction while also providing new relief. No tax on tips is projected to save the average tipped worker about $1,675 per year, and no tax on overtime will save the average overtime worker between $1,400 and $1,750 per year. Under the OBBBA, 51.4 million seniors—88 percent of all seniors receiving Social Security income—will pay no tax on their Social Security.
Fiscal Impact. A key question is the baseline used for scoring. Relative to the CBO’s pre-OBBBA current law baseline (which assumed a major tax hike), the OBBBA reduces revenues by $4.486 trillion. However, relative to pre-OBBBA current policy, the OBBBA reduces primary deficits by $365 billion over 10 years before including revenue feedback from higher growth. The CEA calculates that together, the Trump Administration’s economic policies reduce primary deficits by $7.757 trillion relative to the CBO’s baseline and by $11.517 trillion relative to the pre-OBBBA current policy baseline. The CEA projects that incorporating the additional growth from deregulatory and energy policies causes the debt-to-GDP ratio to be 106 percent in 2034—considerably lower than the CBO’s pre-OBBBA current law baseline forecast of 117 percent.
Chapter 2: Promoting Prosperity through Regulatory Reform
Excessive regulation causes a cascade of economic challenges, stifling productivity through rising compliance costs and reducing competition by erecting barriers to entry. The CEA estimates that compliance costs averaged $13,000 per employee in 2012 (in 2024 dollars), with small firms facing disproportionately higher burdens. The Competitive Enterprise Institute estimates that the annual total cost of Federal regulations stood at a towering $2.1 trillion as of 2024. Rolling back Biden-era rules alone could boost annual U.S. GDP growth by 0.29–0.78 percentage point over the next two decades.
President Trump has initiated a record level of agency deregulatory rulemakings, resulting in over $5 trillion in regulatory costs that are in the process of being cut. Executive Order 14192 mandates that for every new regulation issued, agencies must eliminate at least 10 existing ones. The Administration is targeting regulations that increase the cost of living (e.g., food, housing, and healthcare) and promoting American leadership in artificial intelligence (AI) and digital assets. Reconsideration of the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding is laying the groundwork to rescind de facto electric vehicle mandates, with a net benefit to consumers of just under $4.7 trillion in net present value.
Chapter 3: Rebuilding America’s International Trade Policy
President Trump returned to office to confront a trade system plagued by large and persistent goods deficits, which reached $1.2 trillion in 2024 (4.1 percent of GDP). The Administration’s America First Trade Policy does not allow other countries to treat us unfairly.
Using Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, the Administration has addressed threats to national security posed by imports of steel, aluminum, copper, lumber, automobiles, and trucks. Since the start of the second Administration, President Trump has implemented a global tariff regime and established historic trade agreements. The U.S.-EU Framework will see the EU eliminate tariffs on all U.S. industrial goods and purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy products through 2028. The U.S.-Japan Strategic Trade and Investment Partnership includes Japan’s $550 billion commitment to invest in the United States. The U.S.-U.K. Economic Prosperity Deal removes harmful trade barriers. The Administration has also closed the de minimis loophole for shipments, which had allowed over 1.36 billion shipments in 2024 to enter the U.S. duty-free. Since closing the loophole, CBP has collected more than $1 billion in duties that previously went uncollected.
Chapter 4: Achieving Energy Dominance to Power American Prosperity
For much of the last two decades, U.S. energy policy has been driven by the climate agenda, exposing Americans to higher energy costs. The Trump Administration has shifted priorities to ensure the U.S. can meet rising power demand, driven by the artificial intelligence era. Since the start of the Administration, companies and governments have pledged over $1 trillion in U.S. energy-related spending.
The Administration has overhauled the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, reducing approval times for new nuclear reactors from over one decade to one year. It has also streamlined the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process, compressing timelines from two years to 28 days. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act phases out renewable energy tax credits by 2028, disincentivizing marginally economic projects. The CEA’s analysis shows that California’s attempt to ban new gasoline vehicles would have resulted in a $70 billion loss in consumer surpluses for Californians.
Chapter 5: The Revolution of Artificial Intelligence
The AI revolution, with its parallels to the Industrial Revolution, presents a profound economic inflection point. The CEA reviews analyses estimating AI could increase GDP by 1 percent to over 45 percent. In the first half of 2025 alone, AI-related investment increased GDP by an annualized rate of 1.3 percent.
The Trump Administration is pursuing a strategy focused on accelerated innovation and infrastructure development. The OBBBA restored 100 percent bonus depreciation for IT infrastructure and data center equipment. The “AI Action Plan” focuses on attaining American international dominance by rapidly building data centers and upholding free speech in AI models. The United States leads in AI investment, with $109 billion in private AI investment in 2024, compared with $9 billion for second-place China. The CEA estimates that deregulatory efforts can deliver an extra 0.3 to 0.8 percentage point of GDP growth each year for two decades.
Chapter 6: Protecting and Rebuilding the American Dream of Homeownership
America has been in the midst of a national housing affordability crunch. From 2000 to 2023, real house prices increased 82 percent—nearly seven times the rate of real income growth of 12 percent. The CEA identifies a “bureaucrat tax” from California-style fees, mandates, and red tape that adds over $100,000 to the cost of a new single-family home, functioning as a 42 percent tax on housing supply. The Biden Administration’s green energy building code mandates added an estimated $31,000 to the price of a new home.
President Trump has secured the border, banned institutional investors from buying single-family homes, and rolled back the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. The CEA estimates that reducing the Wharton Residential Land Use Regulatory Index (WRLURI) by 1 standard deviation would boost the housing stock by 9.0 percent, adding 13.2 million more homes and $4.0 trillion to GDP.
Chapter 7 & 8: Strengthening Supply Chains and the Defense Industrial Base
The COVID-19 pandemic and China’s abrupt export controls on rare earth elements exposed the fragility of global supply chains. The Trump Administration is using public-private partnerships, the Defense Production Act (DPA), and targeted regulatory relief to secure supply chains. The Department of War entered a partnership with MP Materials to expand U.S. rare earth magnet manufacturing capacity to 10,000 metric tons.
The defense industrial base (DIB) has seen decades of under-investment. The Administration has made rebuilding the military a top fiscal priority, with spending for procurement and DIB expansion up more than a third from the Fiscal Year 2025 NDAA. Executive Order 14372 prohibits major defense contractors from conducting stock buy-backs at the expense of accelerated procurement.
Chapter 9: Work Means More Than Making a Living
The CEA synthesizes evidence showing work provides benefits beyond income: it extends life, increases happiness, builds skill, and provides social connection. Unemployment increases depression for at least six years and can shorten life expectancy by 1 to 1.5 years. The OBBBA has operationalized work requirements at scale, establishing 80-hour monthly work requirements for able-bodied Medicaid expansion enrollees. The CEA proposes a new Strategic Higher Education Investment for Essential Labor Development (SHIELD) program to address shortages in critical fields like semiconductor manufacturing and nuclear engineering.
Chapter 10: The Economic Consequences of DEI
The CEA finds that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices that prioritize race over qualifications lead to inefficient management. Industries that heavily pursued DEI were approximately 2.7 percent less productive than those that did not by 2023. The cost of this mismanagement was roughly $94 billion annually by 2023, or 0.34 percent of U.S. GDP. President Trump’s Executive Orders have terminated DEI-related activities across Federal agencies, and corporations have followed, with references to DEI in corporate filings dropping by 72 percent in 2025.
Chapter 11: Making America Healthy by Unleashing Competition in Physicians’ Markets
The CEA argues that “healthcare exceptionalism”—the notion that competition is harmful—has led to distortions. The OBBBA established the Rural Health Transformation Program, providing $50 billion over five years to attract healthcare providers to rural communities. The Administration is also expanding site-neutral payment policies to reduce financial incentives for hospitals to acquire independent practices, and has secured a voluntary agreement with major insurers to reduce burdensome prior authorizations.
Chapter 12: Unlocking Retail Access to Private Equity Investments
The number of U.S. public companies has dropped by more than half since 1997, while private companies have increased. Yet, defined contribution (DC) plans (e.g., 401ks) have negligible allocation to private markets (0.1 percent) compared to defined benefit plans (30 percent) due to regulatory barriers. The CEA quantifies that easing restrictions to allow a 20 percent allocation to private equity in DC plans would translate into an extra $35 billion in aggregate output and increase annuitized lifetime income by 1.3 percent. President Trump’s Executive Order “Democratizing Access to Alternative Investments for 401(k) Investors” encourages this shift.
Chapter 13: The Cost of Capital Misallocation to ESG Investments
The rise of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing has distorted the allocation of capital. The CEA estimates that, between 2016 and 2023, the systemic misallocation of financial capital to environmentally-focused (or “green”) investments reduced U.S. GDP by $98 billion to $196 billion. The Trump Administration has withdrawn the United States from the Paris Agreement and ended Federal DEI programs, and financial regulators have ceased defending climate disclosure rules, rolling back mandatory climate risk transparency.
Chapter 14: The Year in Review and the Years Ahead
The U.S. real GDP grew 2.0 percent during the four quarters of 2025. Strong growth in business fixed investment supported real GDP growth, with investment in equipment growing 9.5 percent. Inflation, as measured by the core CPI, fell to 2.6 percent during the 12 months of the year. The unemployment rate was 4.4 percent in December 2025, and real average hourly earnings grew 1.1 percent during the year.
Looking ahead, the Trump Administration foresees a healthy steady state. The forecast underpinning the President’s Budget expects real GDP growth to average 3 percent during the next 11 years, with stable inflation near the Federal Reserve’s target, the unemployment rate flat at 3.7 percent, and interest rates edging down. This growth will be driven by a projected 2.9 percent annual growth in labor productivity, boosted by the Administration’s policies of deregulation, pro-growth tax policy, and the increasing use of artificial intelligence.
About the Council of Economic Advisers
The Council of Economic Advisers was established by the Employment Act of 1946 to offer the President objective economic advice on the formulation of both domestic and international economic policy. The Council bases its recommendations and analysis on economic research and empirical evidence, using the best data available to support the President in setting our nation’s economic policy to promote employment, production, and purchasing power under free competitive enterprise. Its members are appointed by the American President and its chairman is confirmed by the Senate.
