US EditionU.S. economic growth accelerated to a 4.3% annual rate last quarter, exceeding expectations
Growth was driven by a 3.5% rise in consumer spending and an 8.8% increase in exports, offsetting import declines amid post-shutdown recovery, the Commerce Department reported.
- On Tuesday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis published gross domestic product data showing United States real GDP rose 4.3% annualized in the third quarter, beating the 3.3% forecast and topping the second-quarter 3.8% gain.
- The Congressional Budget Office said the record-long government shutdown lowered real GDP while ongoing and growth "will be temporarily higher than it would have been otherwise" as the economy rebounds, with tariff announcements altering imports and causing first quarter swings.
- Recent agency reports show the Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported unemployment at its highest rate since September 2021 while inflation cooled, and the BEA will publish an updated third-quarter GDP estimate on January 22.
- Mark Hamrick, Bankrate's senior economic analyst, said next year will bring better clarity, and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the baseline would be solid growth next year.
- Fourth-Quarter estimates may be affected by the recent record-long government shutdown and tariff-driven import effects, causing volatile swings in measured growth.
