The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded by 4.3% during Q3 2025. At the same time, personal income experienced a 0.4% increase, while International Trade in Goods and Services and Q2’s International Transactions fell by $52.8 billion and $251.3 billion, respectively.
“Gains to real gross domestic product were driven by greater consumer spending, particularly on nondurable goods and services, as well as increased government outlays and a rise in net exports,” according to Marcus & Millichap’s “Gross Domestic Product” brief.
