  • Fed is likely to lower rates only two more times, even under Trump’s next chair pick
    The survey shows the average outlook is for two more quarter-point cuts this year, or 50 basis points, with no reductions expected yet for 2027. With the survey coming in the wake of US tariff threats over Greenland, several respondents also wrote in “geopolitical risk” as a major area of concern. “Policy uncertainty acts as a tax on the economy,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG. “It causes paralysis. I was hopeful policy uncertainty would abate as we move into 2026. Thus far, that has not been the case.”

  • Tax changes create new savings opportunities for LI businesses
    Updated payroll tax rules will necessitate a compliance review for many companies, with positive outcomes for some. “Payroll tax changes in Nassau and Suffolk will reshape labor costs for larger employers, while smaller corporations get operating leverage from the $5,000 threshold, freeing up cash that was tied up in quarterly payments,” explains Aaron Balken, senior manager, state and local tax, asset management, and New York tax controversy lead at KPMG. According to Balken, the impact of the new rules will be felt across many of our area’s largest employers, but it may also produce tangible benefits for some smaller firms.

  • Trump’s OBBBA reshapes tax planning for New Jersey businesses
    The OBBBA will have “broad impact not only in 2025 and 2026 but in years to come,” according to Robert Trenery Jr., a tax partner at KPMG. “It permanently extends and modifies key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, while also introducing new reforms.” The new legislation is characterized by staged implementation, with different provisions taking effect through 2025, 2026 and 2027, he explained. For calendar-year businesses whose 2025 tax year already closed by the time the full implications became clear, opportunities for strategic planning remain available, he added.

  • U.S. dollar weakening is bad news for countries that use the euro
    Kenneth Kim, senior economist with KPMG, links the strengthening euro and weakening U.S. dollar to weaker demand for European exports and the risk of excessively low inflation in the Eurozone, which could pressure the European Central Bank to lower interest rates if inflation continues to fall. The euro’s rise to around $1.20 makes European exports more expensive, weighing on already sluggish European growth and posing particular challenges for export-dependent Germany, while also complicating the ECB’s upcoming monetary policy decisions.
