TRX BEA: US real GDP rose 3.4% annualized in Q3 2026, up from 2.2% in Q2
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported in its advance estimate that real GDP increased at an annual rate of 3.4 percent in the third quarter of 2026, after a 2.2 percent increase in the second quarter. The BEA said the third-quarter rise was driven by increases in investment, consumer spending and government spending, partly offset by a decrease in exports, while imports, which are subtracted in the GDP calculation, increased.
