FX.co ★ US GDP Growth Highest in 2 Years

In the third quarter of 2025, the United States' GDP increased at an annualized rate of 4.3%, marking the highest growth in two years. This figure surpasses the 3.8% growth observed in the second quarter and exceeds the anticipated rate of 3.3%, as indicated by the delayed estimate. This growth was largely driven by heightened consumer spending, increased exports, and rising government expenditures, though it was somewhat mitigated by reduced investment levels. Additionally, imports saw a decline. The acceleration in real GDP during the third quarter can be attributed to a smaller contraction in investment, a boost in consumer spending, and positive shifts in both exports and government expenditure. The decrease in imports was less pronounced in the third quarter.
