The U.S. economy expanded at a solid annual rate of 2.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022, down from 3.2% at the end of Q3, according to the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis. Fourth-quarter growth was more than expected and capped a year of economic slowing that reflects a return to a more normal pace of growth. Nevertheless, concern continues that growth may turn negative in 2023. The increase in real GDP was driven by gains in private inventory investment, consumer spending, federal government spending, state and local government spending and nonresidential fixed investment that were partly offset by decreases in residential fixed investment and exports. The fourth quarter capped a year of economic slowing that reflects a return to a more normal pace of growth.
