|
7.2
The U.S. economy grew at a 0.7% annual rate in the fourth quarter (Oct–Dec), the Commerce Department reported Friday, sharply revising down its initial 1.4% estimate after a 43-day federal shutdown. Federal spending fell at a 16.7% annual rate, subtracting about 1.16 percentage points, while annual GDP rose 2.1% in 2025 amid weaker consumer spending, exports, and hiring.
