Economy: Generally stable national and local economic environment—annual real GDP growth has been about 2.5% for the past two years, and the Blue Chip and other forecasts expect this to continue for FY 2016 and FY 2017. Capital Markets: The early 2016 decline in the stock market, reversing gains of the previous year, underscores how volatile capital markets can be. This volatility can cause large fluctuations in capital gains and deed transactions revenues.
