Trump Boom: U.S. Economy Grows 4.3%, Fastest in Two Years, Smashing ExpectationsJohn Carney 23 Dec 2025
The U.S. economy grew this summer at the fastest pace in two years, far outpacing economists’ forecasts.
The Commerce Department said U.S. gross domestic product—the government’s official economic scorecard—rose at a seasonally and inflation-adjusted 4.3 percent annual rate in the third quarter. The report on the July through September period was delayed due to the shutdown.
Gross domestic product is a broad measure of the goods and services produced across the economy. Economists had expected the economy to grow at a 3.2 percent annual rate after the second quarter’s 3.8 percent growth.
Prior to the inflation adjustment, the economy grew at an 8.2 percent rate.
Real final sales to private domestic purchasers, a slice of GDP that some economists view as a clearer measure of the health of the private sector, grew at a 3.0 percent annual rate, up from three percent in the second quarter.
