“The imposition of tariffs, and the subsequent pause, has jolted the international economy and sown uncertainty as to the future of global trade,” CSI said. “Despite the positive news on consumer price growth, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled that rates will likely remain unchanged as they wait to see how new tariff policies impact the economy.”

According to the think tank, inflation since 2020 has caused the average household in the state to spend more than $45,000.
