Real GDP up 4.2% in 2Q

Real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 4.2 percent in the second quarter of 2014, according to the "second" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.


In the first quarter, real GDP decreased 2.1 percent.

This upturn in the percent change in real GDP primarily reflected upturns in exports and in private inventory investment, accelerations in personal consumption expenditures and in nonresidential fixed investment, and upturns in state and local government spending and in residential fixed investment that were partly offset by an acceleration in imports.
