U.S. GDP Surges More Than Previously Estimated in Q2

The U.S. economy experienced greater growth than initially estimated in the second quarter of 2025, as revealed by revised data released by the Commerce Department on Thursday.

The report indicated that real gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 3.3 percent in the second quarter, compared to the previously reported surge of 3.0 percent. Economists had anticipated an upward revision of GDP to 3.1 percent.

According to the Commerce Department, this stronger-than-expected growth was primarily driven by upward revisions in investment and consumer spending. However, these positive adjustments were partially offset by a downward revision in government spending and an upward revision in imports, which are considered a deduction in the GDP calculation.
