The U.S. economy delivered stronger-than-expected results in the second quarter of 2025, with GDP growth revised upward to an annualized rate of 3.8%. This marks a notable improvement over earlier estimates and highlights the resilience of the economy despite ongoing global and domestic challenges.
The revision was mainly supported by reduced imports, which add to GDP calculation, as well as robust consumer spending. Business investments also played a key role, particularly in intellectual property linked to artificial intelligence and digital innovation.
Economists, however, warn that the pace of growth could slow in the second half of the year. Inflationary pressures, global trade uncertainty, and shifting monetary policy may weigh on economic momentum, with projections for full-year growth expected to hover near 1.5%.
