the real economy in 2018 lower for the first time since 2011, the Economic
Information Daily reported Wednesday. Leverage in the real economy in 2018 fell

fell to 153.6% from 2017's 158.2%. This was despite an increase in residential

mortgage loans. Government leverage also rose slightly to 37% from 2017's 36.4%,
