• Thanks in part to its strong representation in this month’s leading sectors—Energy and Financials—the S&P United Kingdom bucked the trends to finish higher by January’s end. European Information Technology was a major laggard.

U.S. Department Of The Treasury: Economy Statement By Benjamin Harris, Assistant Secretary For Economy Policy, For The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee

Date 31/01/2022

Real GDP growth accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2021, returning to a pace consistent with that seen in the first half of the year.  Economic growth this quarter was driven primarily by inventory investment—as firms restocked depleted inventories—as well as strong export growth and robust consumer spending on services.  By the end of 2021, household balance sheets were exceptionally health due in part to the American Rescue Plan (ARP), other government pandemic assistance, and brisk wage growth.  The pace of GDP growth in the fourth quarter ended 2021 on a historic note: over the four quarters of 2021, real GDP grew 5.5 percent, the fastest annual pace in 37 years.
