American economic growth reached 3.4%; This country's economy accelerated beyond expectations The American economy accelerated again in the third quarter of 2026 and the country's GDP growth rate reached 3.4 percent. This figure shows an increase of 1.2 percentage points compared to growth of 2.2 percent in the second quarter. The latest data indicate that the American economy managed to maintain its growth rate after a period of severe fluctuations; This too, in a situation where high interest rates and inflationary pressures continue to cast a shadow on economic activity. According to the Bonar Report, the quarterly US GDP trend study shows that this country's economic growth has reached only 0.1% at the beginning of 2025; But in the second quarter of that year it experienced a significant jump and rose to four percent. Economic growth in the third quarter of 2025 was also recorded at 3.9%, although this trend dropped sharply to 0.2% in the last quarter of the year. As 2026 begins, the American economy is once again on the road to recovery. GDP growth reached 2.5% in the first quarter and 2.2% in the second quarter. Now, the increase of this index to 3.4% in the third quarter shows that the speed of economic growth has increased again after a limited decrease in the previous season. The amazing thing is the significant gap between the performance of the American economy and the bottom of the growth recorded last year. The growth rate of the third quarter of 2026 is about 3.3 percentage points higher than the figure of 0.1% at the beginning of 2025. However, the current growth is still lower than the peak of 4% in the second quarter of 2025 and cannot be considered the highest growth rate in recent times. Continued economic growth at this level is important to US monetary policy. An economy that continues to expand at a relatively high rate may put less pressure on the Fed to cut interest rates immediately. On the other hand, if demand growth is accompanied by continuous price pressure, it will be more difficult for inflation to return to the central bank's two percent target. Of course, the GDP growth figures alone do not determine whether the increase in economic activity is caused by household consumption, investments, foreign trade or government spending.
