According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ “first” estimate, real gross domestic product (GDP) expanded at an annual rate of 2.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018 (table 1). Real GDP climbed by 3.4 percent in the third quarter.
Because of the partial government shutdown, the “advance” estimate for the fourth quarter and annual GDP for 2018 was originally slated for January 30th, and the “second” estimate was originally scheduled for February 28th. For more information, see the Technical Note.
The Bureau stressed that the fourth-quarter preliminary estimate provided today is based on incomplete or subject to revision by the source agency (see “Source Data for the Initial Estimate” on page 3). On March 28, 2019, updated fourth-quarter forecasts will be provided, based on more full data.
Personal consumption expenditures (PCE), nonresidential fixed investment, exports, private inventory investment, and federal government spending all contributed to the increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter. Negative contributions from household fixed investment and state and local government spending partially offset these gains. Imports, which are deducted from GDP calculations, increased (table 2).
The fourth-quarter slowdown in real GDP growth was due to decreases in private inventory investment, PCE, and federal government spending, as well as a decrease in state and local government spending. An increase in exports and a speeding up of nonresidential fixed investment partially compensated these developments. Imports grew at a slower pace in the fourth quarter than in the third.
In the fourth quarter, current dollar GDP climbed by 4.6 percent, or $233.2 billion, to $20.89 trillion. GDP in current dollars climbed by 4.9 percent, or $246.3 billion, in the third quarter (table 1 and table 3).
In the fourth quarter, the price index for gross domestic purchases grew 1.6 percent, compared to 1.8 percent in the third quarter (table 4). The PCE price index climbed by 1.5 percent, compared to a 1.6 percent increase in the previous quarter. The PCE price index grew 1.7 percent excluding food and energy expenses, compared to 1.6 percent overall.
In the fourth quarter, current-dollar personal income climbed by $225.1 billion, compared to $190.6 billion in the third quarter. The increase in personal income was due to an increase in farm proprietor income as well as increases in personal dividend and interest income. Employee compensation has slowed.
In the fourth quarter, disposable personal income climbed by $218.7 billion, or 5.7 percent, compared to $160.9 billion, or 4.2 percent, in the third quarter. The growth in real disposable personal income was 4.2 percent, compared to a 2.6 percent gain in the previous year.
In the fourth quarter, personal savings totaled $1.06 trillion, up from $996.0 billion in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the personal saving rate (savings as a proportion of disposable personal income) was 6.7 percent, up from 6.4 percent in the third quarter.
Based on newly available tabulations from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program, the percent change in real GDI for the third quarter of 2018 was updated from 4.3 percent to 4.6 percent.
In 2018, real GDP increased by 2.9 percent (from the 2017 annual level to the 2018 annual level), compared to a 2.2 percent gain in 2017. (table 1).
PCE, nonresidential fixed investment, exports, federal government spending, private inventory investment, and state and local government expenditure all contributed to the increase in real GDP in 2018, which was partially offset by a minor negative contribution from residential fixed investment. Imports, which are deducted from GDP calculations, increased (table 2).
The increase in real GDP between 2017 and 2018 was primarily due to increases in nonresidential fixed investment, private inventory investment, federal government spending, exports, and PCE, as well as an increase in state and local government spending, which was partially offset by a decline in residential investment.
GDP in current dollars climbed 5.2 percent, or $1.02 trillion, to $20.50 trillion in 2018, compared to 4.2 percent, or $778.2 billion, in 2017. (table 1 and table 3).
In 2018, the price index for gross domestic purchases climbed by 2.2 percent, compared to 1.9 percent in 2017. (table 4). The PCE price index grew 2.0 percent, compared to 1.8 percent in the previous quarter. The PCE price index grew 1.9 percent excluding food and energy expenses, compared to 1.6 percent overall (table 4).
Real GDP increased by 3.1 percent in 2018 (measured from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2018), compared to 2.5 percent in 2017. During 2018, the price index for gross domestic purchases climbed by 2.1 percent, compared to 1.9 percent in 2017.
A Technical Note that is issued with the news release on BEA’s Web site contains information on the source data and important assumptions utilized for unavailable source data in the initial estimate. Each version comes with a thorough “Key Source Data and Assumptions” file. See the “Additional Information” section below for more information on GDP updates.
What was the Gross Domestic Product in 2018 and 2019?
The government lowered the economic growth forecast for 2019-20 to 4% from 4.2 percent previously predicted, owing to decline in secondary sectors such as manufacturing and construction. In revised national account figures, the National Statistical Office stated, “Real GDP or GDP at constant (2011-12) prices for the years 2019-20 and 2018-19 stands at Rs 145.69 trillion and Rs 140.03 trillion, respectively, showing a rise of 4.0 percent in 2019-20 and 6.5 percent in 2018-19.”
What was the 2018 GDP?
According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ “third” estimate, real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018 (table 1). Real GDP climbed by 3.4 percent in the third quarter.
The most recent GDP estimate is based on more extensive source data than the “initial” estimate given last month. The growth in real GDP was first estimated to be 2.6 percent. The overall picture of economic growth has not changed with this estimate for the fourth quarter; personal consumption expenditures (PCE), state and local government spending, and nonresidential fixed investment have all been revised lower; imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, have also been revised lower (see “Updates to GDP” on page 2).
In the fourth quarter, real gross domestic income (GDI) climbed by 1.7 percent, compared to 4.6 percent in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the average of real GDP and real GDI, a supplemental measure of U.S. economic activity that equally weights GDP and GDI, climbed 1.9 percent, compared to a 4.0 percent gain in the third quarter (table 1).
Personal consumption expenditures (PCE), nonresidential fixed investment, exports, private inventory investment, and federal government spending all contributed to the increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter. Negative contributions from household fixed investment and state and local government spending partially offset these gains. Imports, which are deducted from GDP calculations, increased (table 2).
In the fourth quarter, current dollar GDP climbed by 4.1 percent, or $206.9 billion, to $20.87 trillion. GDP in current dollars climbed by 4.9 percent, or $246.3 billion, in the third quarter (table 1 and table 3).
In the fourth quarter, the price index for gross domestic purchases grew 1.7 percent, compared to 1.8 percent in the third quarter (table 4). The PCE price index climbed by 1.5 percent, compared to a 1.6 percent increase in the previous quarter. The PCE price index grew 1.8 percent excluding food and energy expenses, compared to 1.6 percent overall.
PCE, state and local government spending, and nonresidential fixed investment were all revised down 0.4 percentage point in the fourth quarter, partially offset by a downward revision to imports. See the Technical Note for further information. Each version comes with a thorough “Key Source Data and Assumptions” file. See the “Additional Information” section below for more information on GDP updates.
GDP in current dollars climbed 5.2 percent, or $1.01 trillion, to $20.49 trillion in 2018, compared to 4.2 percent, or $778.2 billion, in 2017. (table 1 and table 3).
In 2018, real GDP increased by 2.4 percent, compared to 2.3 percent in 2017. (table 1).
Real GDP climbed 3.0% from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2018. This is compared to a 2.5 percent gain in 2017. In 2018, the price index for gross domestic purchases climbed by 2.1 percent, compared to 1.9 percent in 2017. In 2018, real GDP increased by 2.7 percent, compared to 2.3 percent in 2017. (table 6).
In the fourth quarter, profits from current production (business profits adjusted for inventory valuation and capital consumption) fell $9.7 billion, compared to a rise of $78.2 billion in the third quarter.
Domestic financial firm profits fell $25.2 billion in the fourth quarter, compared to a $6.1 billion drop in the third quarter. Domestic nonfinancial corporations’ profits climbed by $13.6 billion, compared to a gain of $83.0 billion for financial corporations. Profits in the rest of the world climbed by $1.9 billion, compared to a $1.3 billion increase in the United States. Receipts climbed by $8.8 billion in the fourth quarter, while payments increased by $6.9 billion.
What was the GDP of the United States at the end of 2019?
Positive contributions from PCE, exports, residential fixed investment, federal government spending, and state and local government spending offset negative contributions from private inventory investment and nonresidential fixed investment in the fourth quarter, resulting in an increase in real GDP. Imports, which are deducted from GDP calculations, declined (table 2).
The fourth quarter’s real GDP growth was the same as the third. A drop in imports and an increase in government spending were offset in the fourth quarter by a bigger drop in private inventory investment and a slowdown in PCE.
In the fourth quarter, real gross domestic income (GDI) climbed by 2.6 percent, compared to 1.2 percent in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the average of real GDP and real GDI, a supplemental measure of U.S. economic activity that weights GDP and GDI equally, grew 2.4 percent, compared to 1.7 percent in the third quarter (table 1).
In the fourth quarter, current dollar GDP climbed by 3.5 percent, or $186.6 billion, to $21.73 trillion. Current-dollar GDP climbed by 3.8 percent, or $202.2 billion, in the third quarter (tables 1 and 3).
In the fourth quarter, the price index for gross domestic purchases climbed by 1.4 percent, the same as in the third quarter (table 4). The PCE price index climbed by 1.4 percent, compared to a 1.5 percent increase in the previous quarter. The PCE price index grew 1.3 percent excluding food and energy expenses, compared to a 2.1 percent increase overall.
The “Key Underlying Data and Assumptions” file on BEA’s website has more detail on the source data that underpins the estimates.
The fourth-quarter real GDP growth rate was unchanged from the second estimate in the third estimate. The PCE, residential investment, and state and local government spending have all been increased. Downward revisions to federal government spending and nonresidential fixed investment, as well as an upward revision to imports, counterbalance these upward revisions. See the Technical Note for further information. See the “Additional Information” section below for more information on GDP updates.
In 2019, real GDP increased by 2.3 percent (from the previous year’s annual level to the current year’s annual level), compared to 2.9 percent in 2018. (table 1).
PCE, nonresidential fixed investment, federal government expenditure, state and local government spending, and private inventory investment all contributed to the increase in real GDP in 2019, which was partially offset by a negative contribution from residential fixed investment. Imports have risen (table 2).
The slowdown in real GDP in 2019 compared to 2018 was mostly due to slower nonresidential fixed investment, exports, and PCE, which were partially offset by faster state and local government spending and federal government spending. Imports grew at a slower pace in 2019 than in 2018.
GDP in current dollars climbed 4.1 percent, or $847.5 billion, to $21.43 trillion in 2019, compared to 5.4 percent, or $1,060.8 billion, in 2018. (table 1 and table 3).
In 2019, real GDP increased by 1.9 percent, compared to 2.5 percent in 2018. (table 1).
In 2019, the price index for gross domestic purchases climbed by 1.5 percent, compared to 2.4 percent in 2018. (table 4). The PCE price index climbed by 1.4 percent, compared to a 2.1 percent increase in the previous quarter. The PCE price index grew 1.6 percent excluding food and energy expenses, compared to 1.9 percent overall (table 4).
Real GDP increased by 2.3 percent from the fourth quarter of 2018 to the fourth quarter of 2019. This is compared to a 2.5 percent gain in 2018. Real GDI grew 2.0 percent in 2019, as measured from the fourth quarter of 2018 to the fourth quarter of 2019. This is compared to a 2.3 percent gain in 2018. (table 6).
From the fourth quarter of 2018 to the fourth quarter of 2019, the price index for gross domestic purchases climbed by 1.4 percent. This is compared to a 2.2 percent gain in 2018. The PCE price index climbed by 1.4 percent, compared to 1.9 percent in the previous quarter. The PCE price index grew 1.6 percent excluding food and energy, compared to 1.9 percent overall (table 6).
In the fourth quarter, profits from current production (business profits adjusted for inventory valuation and capital consumption) climbed $53.0 billion, compared to a decrease of $4.7 billion in the third quarter (table 10).

Domestic financial businesses saw a $7.1 billion gain in profits, compared to an increase of $11.1 billion. Domestic nonfinancial firms’ profits fell $36.4 billion, compared to a $10.0 billion increase in financial corporations’ profits. Profits in the rest of the world climbed by $29.3 billion, compared to a $47.6 billion increase in the United States.
In 2021, what was the US GDP?
In addition to updated fourth-quarter projections, today’s announcement includes revised third-quarter 2021 wages and salaries, personal taxes, and government social insurance contributions, all based on new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program. Wages and wages climbed by $306.8 billion in the third quarter, up $27.7 billion from the previous estimate. With the addition of this new statistics, real gross domestic income is now anticipated to have climbed 6.4 percent in the third quarter, a 0.6 percentage point gain over the prior estimate.
GDP for 2021
In 2021, real GDP climbed by 5.7 percent, unchanged from the previous estimate (from the 2020 annual level to the 2021 annual level), compared to a 3.4 percent fall in 2020. (table 1). In 2021, all major components of real GDP increased, led by PCE, nonresidential fixed investment, exports, residential fixed investment, and private inventory investment. Imports have risen (table 2).
PCE increased as both products and services increased in value. “Other” nondurable items (including games and toys as well as medications), apparel and footwear, and recreational goods and automobiles were the major contributors within goods. Food services and accommodations, as well as health care, were the most significant contributors to services. Increases in equipment (dominated by information processing equipment) and intellectual property items (driven by software as well as research and development) partially offset a reduction in structures in nonresidential fixed investment (widespread across most categories). The rise in exports was due to an increase in products (mostly non-automotive capital goods), which was somewhat offset by a drop in services (led by travel as well as royalties and license fees). The increase in residential fixed investment was primarily due to the development of new single-family homes. An increase in wholesale commerce led to an increase in private inventory investment (mainly in durable goods industries).
In 2021, current-dollar GDP climbed by 10.1 percent (revised), or $2.10 trillion, to $23.00 trillion, compared to 2.2 percent, or $478.9 billion, in 2020. (tables 1 and 3).
In 2021, the price index for gross domestic purchases climbed 3.9 percent, which was unchanged from the previous forecast, compared to 1.2 percent in 2020. (table 4). Similarly, the PCE price index grew 3.9 percent, which was unchanged from the previous estimate, compared to a 1.2 percent gain. With food and energy prices excluded, the PCE price index grew 3.3 percent, unchanged from the previous estimate, compared to 1.4 percent.
Real GDP grew 5.6 (revised) percent from the fourth quarter of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2021 (table 6), compared to a fall of 2.3 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2020.
From the fourth quarter of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2021, the price index for gross domestic purchases climbed 5.6 percent (revised), compared to 1.4 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2020. The PCE price index grew 5.5 percent, unchanged from the previous estimate, versus a 1.2 percent increase.

What was the state of the American economy in 2019?
- As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, the United States’ economic expansion will come to a stop this year. The US GDP expanded by 2.3 percent in 2019. Market forecasts suggest a drop of more than 3% in 2020, which would be a larger drop than in 2009.
- In 2019, the US economy added 2.1 million jobs. Since the financial crisis, the economy has grown for ten years in a row. The unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent at the end of the year, the lowest level in 50 years (since 1969). However, in March 2020, 701,000 jobs were lost, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4 percent, bringing the United States’ longest stretch of job creation to an end.
- In 2019, the Federal Reserve reversed its policy course after three and a half years of normalization of interest rates. The target range for the fed funds rate was decreased by 0.25 percent at each of the three meetings in July, September, and October of 2019. The Fed lowers interest rates to the zero lower bound in March 2020 in response to the coronavirus crisis.
- The policy reaction to the COVID-19 epidemic in the United States is also examined in this paper. The growth in fiscal spending and loans in the United States will exceed 10% of GDP this year. In only one week, the Fed’s total balance sheet grew by more than half a trillion dollars.

In 2018, which country is the wealthiest?
According to McKinsey & Co, the high rise in net worth over the last two decades has outpaced the rise in global gross domestic product, and has been fueled by surging housing values as a result of low borrowing rates.
According to the study, asset prices are about 50% higher than their long-run average when compared to income. This raises concerns about the wealth boom’s long-term viability.
According to Jan Mischke of Bloomberg, there are concerns about the trend of global net worth growth, citing rising real estate prices as a contributing factor. “, he explained “In many senses, increasing one’s net worth through price increases above and above inflation is dubious. It has a slew of negative side effects.”
What is the annual US GDP?
From 1960 to 2020, GDP in the United States averaged 7680.13 USD Billion, with a top of 21433.22 USD Billion in 2019 and a low of 543.30 USD Billion in 1960.
