The United States' Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at an annual rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) said in its second estimate on Wednesday. The BEA reported in its advanced estimate the real GDP growth was 3.3%.
"The update primarily reflected a downward revision to private inventory investment that was partly offset by upward revisions to state and local government spending and consumer spending," the BEA explained in the press release.
