PNC Chief Economist Gus Faucher: Q4 GDP Growth Comes in Much Better Than Expected

Michigan Business Network
January 25, 2024 5:00 PM

Even as Inflation Slows

Real GDP growth was 3.3% in the fourth quarter, better than expected. Growth in 2023 was 3.1%, up from 0.7% in 2022.
All major components contributed to the increase in GDP, with a solid gain in consumer spending.
Both the overall and core PCE inflation measures were at or below the FOMC’s 2% objective in the fourth quarter as inflation slows.
The strong fourth quarter sets the economy up for continued expansion in 2024, albeit with slower growth.
Although slowing inflation supports a near-term fed funds rate cut, the FOMC remains concerned about growth that is running above the economy’s potential.
