The United States has experienced a gross growth of the internal product (GDP) of 3.8% in the second quarter, according to an official estimate updated on Thursday, more than what had previously been calculated, and more than expected by the markets.
The first estimate of GDP for the period, published at the end of July, reported a 3% growth in the annualized rhythm. It was then reviewed at 3.3%. The markets did not expect a new review, according to the consensus published by Trading Economics.
A slowdown at the end of the year?
However, growth could be much softer by the end of 2025. American economists reviewed their descending growth forecasts on Thursday by the end of 2025 due to the weakening of the labor market and inflation.
The Economic Advisory Committee of the ABA Banking Association, composed of 16 economists from the largest American banks, now believes that the world leader will experience 1.3% growth for a year.
This represents a strong deceleration compared to the same period in 2024, where there had been a 2.5% growth for a year. But anticipate a slight recovery of 2026.
