U.S. Q1 2017 GDP Growth at Three-Year Low

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague


The increase in real U.S. GDP in the first quarter of 2017 reflected positive contributions from non-residential fixed
investment, exports, residential fixed investment, and personal consumption expenditures (PCE), that were offset by negative contributions from private inventory investment, state and local government spending, and federal government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.

The deceleration in real GDP in the first quarter reflected a deceleration in PCE and downturns in private inventory investment and in state and local government spending that were partly offset by an upturn in exports and accelerations in both non-residential and residential fixed investment.
