In this video edition of “Five Minutes With Commerce Trust Company Chief Economist Scott Colbert,” Scott explains why he believes U.S. economic growth could still exceed 4% this year despite the headwinds from spiking inflation and the knock-on effects of stubborn supply chain disruptions during the pandemic.

By some measures, this built-up excess could be in the neighborhood of $2.7 trillion, and will eventually find its way back into the economy.
