US economy grew much faster than expected in the third quarter, delayed report shows

U.S. economy surprises with 4.3% GDP growth in the third quarter of 2025, beating expectations of 3.3% as consumer spending and exports drive the strong performance.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on Tuesday released its initial estimate of third-quarter GDP, which showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 4.3% in the three-month period including July, August and September.

That figure topped the expectations of economists polled by LSEG, who had estimated 3.3% GDP growth in the third quarter.

The report also found that real GDP rose at an annualized rate of 3.8% in the second quarter. That followed a GDP contraction of 0.6% in the first quarter. Taken together, those three readings indicate the U.S. economy grew at a 2.5% annualized rate through the first three quarters of 2025.

U.S. District Judge Anne M. Nardacci found that the Justice Department — which sued New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James in February — had failed to prove its claims that the state law sought to invalidate federal law or that the measure unlawfully regulates or unlawfully discriminates against the federal government.

Appointed by Biden, with a recommendation by Schumer. That says it all.


"As I said from the start, our laws protect the rights of all New Yorkers and keep our communities safe," James said in a statement. "I will always stand up for New Yorkers and the rule of law."
