*Current Recovery: 5 years
Economic Recovery
Florida growth rates are gradually returning to more typical levels. However, drags are more persistent than past events.
It will take a few more years to climb completely out of the recession hole.
A national economic recovery is well underway. Most areas of commercial and consumer credit are strengthening, though residential credit remains sluggish and difficult to access.
Economic Recovery
Most personal income metrics and all of the tourism counts exceeded prior peaks
Other measures posted solid year-over-year improvements, even if they were below peak performance levels
By the close of FY 13/14, several key measures of Florida’s economy had returned to (or surpassed) prior peaks:
Current Forecast: No key construction metric shows a return to peak levels until 2022/2023
Florida Population
Economic Outlook
Population Growth
Growth is expected to continue, with rates increasing over the next few years
The future will be different than the past (Long-term growth rate between 1970 and 1995 was over three percent.)
Population growth is the state’s primary economicgrowth engine, fueling employment and income.
Florida on track to break 20 million prior to April 2016, surpassing New York to become third most populous state

No fiscal strategies are required for any year in the outlook period
No budget gap, anticipated reserve fully funded, budget growing more slowly than available revenues
FY 2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17 all show projected budget needs within available revenue for critical and other high priority needs, including $1 billion general reserve in each year.
Florida’s Financial Future
For the first time since adoption of the constitutional amendment requiring Long-Range Financial Outlooks, sufficient funds exist to meet all critical and other high priority needs identified for the three years contained in the outlook.
