Q3 2025 GDP (Initial Estimate):
The U.S. economy expanded at a 4.3% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2025, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
This was much stronger than forecasts (~3.3%) and represents the fastest quarterly growth in about two years.
Growth was driven by robust consumer spending, higher government spending, and exports, while investment slowed somewhat.

📈 What This Means
The strong Q3 performance suggests that despite headwinds earlier in the year (including a contraction in Q1), the U.S. economy regained meaningful momentum by late 2025.
High consumer spending and exports were key factors supporting this jump.

However, inflation measures like the PCE price index were running above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target — indicating inflation pressures aren’t fully gone.

🌍 Broader Context
On an annual basis, institutions like the IMF and others estimate U.S. GDP growth in 2025 at around ~2% (annual average), which reflects smoothing of the strong Q3 alongside slower or weak quarters earlier in the year.
Worldometer
Nominal GDP for 2025 is roughly $30.6 trillion, keeping the U.S. economy the world’s largest.

📅 Looking Ahead
The BEA will update Q3 figures and publish Q4 2025 GDP data early in the new year.
Forecasts (such as the Fed’s GDPNow model) suggested early signs of a ~3.0% real GDP growth rate for Q4, though this is preliminary and subject to revision.
