Thursday, December 18th, 2025 -- 10:01 AM

The results of the latest Wisconsin Bankers Association’s biannual Economic Conditions Survey of Wisconsin bank CEOs reflect 79% of respondents rated Wisconsin’s current economic health as “good.”

Fifty-five percent of respondents expect Wisconsin’s economy to stay about the same over the next six months, a figure similar to the sentiment captured in the previous survey (59%) conducted in mid-year 2025.

Seventy-two percent of respondents expect interest rates to fall in the next six months. The end-of-year 2025 survey was conducted November 19–December 12 which coincided with the latest rate decrease by the Federal Reserve on December 10.

The responses to this recent survey indicate a steady, measured outlook with demand in the next six months projected to grow for residential real estate and all other categories to remain about the same, including staffing levels.
