According to BlockBeats, newly released U.S. GDP data on September 26 shows that the American economy is experiencing stronger growth in 2023 than previously anticipated. Despite the Federal Reserve’s substantial interest rate hikes, factors such as increased business investment and consumer spending have led to a revised GDP growth rate of 2.9%, up from an earlier estimate of 2.5%.

This upward revision also reflects improvements in residential investment, particularly in residential construction. Additionally, the economic growth rate for 2022 has been adjusted upward by 0.6 percentage points, now standing at 2.5%, largely due to enhanced consumer spending and business investment during that year.

The annual benchmark data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) further indicates a significant increase in corporate profits for the previous year, while adjustments to inflation were minimal. Notably, the savings rate has also seen an uptick. Dave Wasshausen, Deputy Director of the BEA’s National Economic Accounts, noted that the overall economic condition remains stable, despite these revisions.

These adjustments underscore a resilient U.S. economy, suggesting that underlying economic fundamentals remain strong even in the face of tighter monetary policy.
