GDP Growth Rate
About This Event
The GDP growth rate measures the annualized change in the inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy. It is a key indicator of the economy's overall health. Higher than expected GDP growth is bullish, while lower than expected GDP growth is bearish.
The American economy expanded an annualized 7% on quarter in Q4 2021, slightly higher than 6.9% in the advance estimate and in line with market forecasts. It remains the strongest expansion since a record growth of 33.8% in Q3 2020. The second GDP estimate showed a bigger rise in fixed investment (2.6% vs 1.3% in the advance estimate), mainly due to nonresidential one while residential fixed investment rebounded. On the other hand, both personal consumption (3.1% vs 3.3%) and exports (23.6% vs 24.5%) increased less than initially expected. Still, the biggest upward contribution to growth was from private inventories (4.9 percentage points, the same as in the advance estimate), namely motor vehicle dealers as companies had been drawing down stocks since the beginning of 2021. Considering full 2021 year, the economy advanced 5.7%, the most since 1984, and in line with the advance figures. source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis
