  • Economy Statement For The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee Of The Securities Industry And Financial Markets Association

    Date 31/07/2017

    The U.S economy accelerated in the second quarter of 2017, recouping momentum temporarily lost in the first quarter.  Real GDP growth picked up to an annual rate of 2.6 percent, more than double the 1.2 percent rate seen in the first quarter of the year.  Personal consumption expenditures, generally the most significant driver of overall economic activity, stepped up noticeably in the second quarter and non-residential fixed investment continued to expand.  Although residential investment declined after the previous quarter’s double-digit advance, net exports made another positive, if small, contribution to growth, and inventory accumulation had a neutral impact.  Total government spending grew in the second quarter, as a strong increase in federal outlays more than offset a small decline in state and local spending.  Labor market conditions remained healthy, as the monthly pace of payroll employment accelerated in the latest quarter and the labor force participation rate trended higher.  In June 2017, the unemployment rate stood at 4.4 percent, just above the sixteen-year low reached in May and well below the pre-recession norm of 5.3 percent.  Economic fundamentals remain solid and suggest growth will continue at a steady pace through the remainder of this year.
