U.S. economic growth since the rate hikes
The U.S. economy’s resilience to higher interest rates has surprised many. To give one example, the International Monetary Fund forecast in January 2023 that the U.S. economy would grow by 1.4% last year. The actual growth came in at 2.5%. But the economy may finally be succumbing to rate pressure. Real GDP growth slowed in the first quarter to 1.6% annualized, below expectations and a marked decline from the 3.4% pace in the final quarter of last year.
