TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s economy is expected to continue outperforming the nation in 2026, even as growth moderates from the rapid pace of recent years, according to a new outlook from the Florida Chamber Foundation.
The 2026 Florida Economic Outlook Report, released during the Florida Chamber Foundation’s 2026 Economic Outlook & Jobs Summit, offers a data-driven assessment of current conditions and emerging trends shaping Florida’s long-term economic competitiveness. The report projects continued expansion across major economic indicators, with Florida once again positioned to exceed national performance.
Among the guest speakers at the summit was Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. Brad O’Connor, who discussed recent housing trends and the role mortgage rates play in buyer demand.
