The United States' GDP growth for the third quarter of 2025 has surprised economists, surging to 4.3%, a significant uptick from the 3.8% observed in the second quarter. The latest data, updated on December 23, 2025, outlines a resilient and expanding economy despite global uncertainties.
This quarter-over-quarter comparison underscores the US economy's ability to accelerate its growth trajectory. The previous comparison, which identified a 3.8% growth rate from the first to the second quarter of 2025, reveals the momentum gained in just a few months.
Analysts attribute this robust performance to several factors, including increased consumer spending, a rebound in key manufacturing sectors, and a stable job market. As the holiday season approaches, many are optimistic that this growth trend may continue into the next quarter, signaling a strong year-end for the US economy.
