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

    Date 30/10/2017

    Despite a battering by three major hurricanes in August and September, the U.S. economy held a steady course and looks increasingly poised to enter its ninth straight year of economic expansion on a strong footing.  Newly released data for the third quarter show real GDP growing at an annual rate of 3.0 percent, just a touch under the second quarter’s 3.1 percent pace.  Growth of personal consumption expenditures, although a bit slower than in the second quarter, remained the core driver of overall growth, while nonresidential fixed investment continued to advance and net exports made a significant contribution to growth.  Residential investment declined for the second consecutive quarter, erasing the substantial gains made during the first quarter, but analysts expect that rebuilding efforts and a tempering of the effects of weather-related disruptions will help support residential sector activity in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, total government spending had a neutral impact on third-quarter growth, as a decline in state and local outlays offset a sizeable increase in federal spending.  Significantly, inventory accumulation was the second main driver of growth in the third quarter, after several quarters of mostly negative or neutral contributions.  Overall labor market conditions improved, although a temporary, storm-related dip in payroll job creation lowered the third quarter’s average monthly pace below that of the second quarter.  Nonetheless, the unemployment rate fell to a fresh sixteen-year low and the labor force participation rate rose to its highest level in two years.  In September 2017, the unemployment rate stood at 4.2 percent, more than a full percentage point below the pre-recession norm of 5.3 percent.  Already-solid economic fundamentals, including confidence and household balance sheets, have strengthened further, suggesting healthy growth through the end of this year and into next year.
