ATLANTA FED IS WATCHING…On business investment, roughly two‐thirds of respondents to our national survey…indicated that the reform wouldn't affect their capital expenditures at all. Just 15 percent said they would increase their capital spending by 10 percent or more, and those responses came mostly from smaller firms.
