# The annualized quarter-on-quarter growth rate of the U.S. Q4 real GDP has been revised down to 0.5%, indicating an unexpected slowdown in the economy

The U.S. economy performed below expectations in the fourth quarter last year, with final data showing a downward revision in growth compared to the initial estimate.

Data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce indicates that the annualized quarter-on-quarter final value of real GDP for the fourth quarter was 0.5%, lower than the market expectation of 0.7% and also below the initial estimate of 0.7%. This downward revision reflects a weaker economic momentum for the quarter than previously estimated.

At the same time, the annualized quarter-on-quarter final value of the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, which measures inflationary pressures, recorded 2.7%, in line with both market expectations and the initial estimate, with no surprises.
