This adjustment follows recent retail sales and manufacturing reports, which also led to a reduction in the forecast for personal consumption expenditures growth from 1.9% to 1.5%. The next update is scheduled for April 2. Previously, the Atlanta Fed had forecasted a growth of 3.0% for the last quarter, but the actual reading was only 1.4%."

# Atlanta Fed GDPNow dips to 1.9% from 2.0% last.

The Atlanta Fed GDPNow growth estimate from their model has dipped to 1.9% from 2.0%.

In their own words:

> The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the first quarter of 2026 is **1.9 percent** on April 1, **down from 2.0 percent** on March 23. After this morning’s retail sales release from the US Census Bureau and this morning’s manufacturing report from the Institute for Supply Management, the nowcast of first-quarter real personal consumption expenditures growth decreased from 1.9 percent to 1.5 percent.

The next GDPNow update is **Thursday, April 2**. Please see the "Release Dates" tab for a list of upcoming releases.

The Atlanta Fed model for GDP takes the data for the quarter and projects a growth GDP in "real time". As more more data becomes available, the model should mimic the growth for the quarter. However, last quarter, the Atlanta Fed forecas growth at 3.0%, while the actual advanced reading came in much lower at 1.4%. Private economists had forecast and average GDP gain of 2.8%.
