U.S. economy growth revised upward to 2.2% for second quarter

GDP revision consumer spending business investment AI infrastructure economic growth

The United States economy demonstrated resilience in the second quarter of 2026, with real GDP growth revised upward to a 2.2% annual rate from an initial estimate of 1.5%. This growth was primarily driven by robust consumer spending, which increased at a 3.8% annual pace, and strong business investment, which rose by 9% (excluding housing), fueled largely by artificial intelligence infrastructure development.

While the upward revision was a positive surprise for economists, the overall growth figure was tempered by a 12.6% surge in imports. Additionally, consumer sentiment has reached a near 12.5-year low, as households face ongoing pressure from inflation and energy costs related to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

In Europe, the Czech economy grew by 1.8% year-on-year in the second quarter, though this was a slight downward revision from previous estimates. Meanwhile, the National Bank of Slovakia improved its GDP growth forecast for the year to 0.8%, citing lower inflation and stronger household consumption as key drivers.
