Stephen Stanley of Santander US Wins Second Blue Chip Forecasting Award
Stephen Stanley, chief U.S. economist at Santander US Capital Markets, has been awarded his second Lawrence R. Klein Award for Blue Chip Forecast Accuracy. The award recognizes the most accurate economic forecasts published in the Blue Chip Economic Indicators newsletter from January 2022 through 2025. Stanley will be honored on October 13 and deliver a presentation on the 2027 economic outlook. The award is judged by Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business, with winners selected based on accuracy in forecasting GDP, inflation, and unemployment rates over four years. Stanley’s projections for 2025 were particularly notable, giving him an edge among the panelists. This marks his second win in three years. Stanley has a long career focused on macroeconomic analysis and Fed policy, having previously worked at RBS and Pierpont Securities before joining Santander.
