Letter to the Secretary

Dear Mr. Secretary:

The pace of economic activity slowed at the start the year, but some pick-up in the second quarter appears likely. Real GDP edged up 0.7% (annual rate) in the first quarter, held back by a slowdown in consumption spending and inventory investment. By contrast, business fixed investment accelerated in the first quarter, and residential investment expanded at a double-digit pace. Smoothing through the volatility, real GDP has expanded 1.9% over the last four quarters.
