#USGDPUpdate The latest US economic data shows that the US GDP grew better than expected in the third quarter of 2025. Here is a summary of the key figures: ​1. Latest figures ​GDP growth: US GDP grew at an annualized rate of 4.3% in the third quarter of 2025. This was higher than the 3.8% growth in the second quarter and the strongest growth in two years. ​Key drivers: Consumer spending rose 3.5%, mainly driven by higher spending on healthcare, travel and technology. ​2. Other key sectors ​Exports and government spending: Exports rebounded sharply to 8.8%, while government spending rose 2.2%. Investment: Despite the increase in investment in business equipment, residential investment is still down 5.1%. 3. Outlook and Challenges Government Shutdown: Experts predict that the economy will cool down slightly in the fourth quarter (Q4) due to the suspension of some government programs in October and November. Tariffs: The impact of import tariff increases on commodity prices is expected to slow economic growth to around 1.5% to 2.0% in 2026. Employment: The unemployment rate is around 4.3%, and the rate of new job creation has slowed slightly. Note: The 4.3% figure is an initial estimate, and the final figures will be released on January 22, 2026.
