13.03.202612:30:00UTC+00U.S. Real Consumer Spending Growth Cools to 2.0% in Q4, Down from 3.5%

Real consumer spending growth in the United States slowed to 2.0% in the fourth quarter of 2025, down from a previously recorded 3.5% in the same period, according to updated data released on 13 March 2026.

The revision suggests that U.S. households were more cautious in their spending than earlier figures indicated, signaling a softer underlying momentum in consumer demand at the end of 2025. As real consumer spending is a key driver of overall economic activity, the downgrade from 3.5% to 2.0% may prompt analysts and policymakers to reassess the strength and resilience of the U.S. economy heading into 2026.

The updated reading underscores the importance of revisions in economic statistics, which can materially change the interpretation of recent growth trends and influence expectations for monetary policy, corporate earnings, and financial markets.
