Creşterea economiei SUA a accelerat peste așteptări în trimestrul doi

The U.S. economy accelerated in Q2 2026, driven by increased consumer spending and strong corporate investments in AI infrastructure. Annual growth reached 2.2%, surpassing earlier estimates of 1.5%. Analysts predict that tax cuts and AI investments will bolster economic activity this year. Consumer spending, which constitutes two-thirds of the economy, rose by 3.8%, up from a previous estimate of 3.4%. However, consumer confidence has declined due to rising fuel prices, with a recent study indicating the lowest confidence level in over 12 years.
