The anticipated increase in 1992 corporate profits primarily will come from improved productivity, greater efficiency, and reduced costs. Lower interest rates have reduced corporate financing costs and enabled many companies to restructure their debt and strengthen their balance sheets. Hopefully, improved corporate profits will stop the job losses, which in turn can begin to improve consumer confidence and spending, perhaps by the second half of 1992, First Securitys report concludes.

Initial unemployment claims rose in January, and the continuing threat of job losses heavily affects consumer spending decisions.
