Economic Report: U.S. economy grew at a revised 2.1% annual rate in third quarter

The U.S. economy expanded at an annual 2.1% pace in the third quarter instead of 2.0%, revised government data show.

Consumer spending and private inventory investment mostly accounted for the upward revision, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. The report was a revision of an advance estimate issued last month.

Looking ahead, economists expect U.S. GDP to grow at an annualized rate of 4.8% in the fourth quarter of 2022. Those figures will be released in January of 2022.
