Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.4% in Q3 2026, according to the advance estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).

In Q2, real GDP increased 2.2%.

The contributors to the increase in real GDP in the third quarter were increases in investment, consumer spending, and government spending that were partly offset by a decrease in exports. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.
