Surprise Q4 fall in US GDP

Published

on



http://www.euronews.com/ The US economy unexpectedly contracted in the fourth quarter of last year as businesses scaled back on restocking and government spending plunged.

Gross domestic product fell at a 0.1 percent annual rate, in contrast to the previous quarter when it grew 3.1 percent.

Even though this was the first decline since the 2007-09 , there was some good with a pick-up in consumer spending and a rebound in business investment.

Still for policymakers, like those at the US central bank the Federal Reserve, the contraction could spur fears of a new .

The fact that the whole of last year the US economy grew by just 2.2 percent will certainly play into decisions from the two-day Fed meeting just wrapping up.

The report makes it more likely that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the other decision makers will continue stimulating the US economy.

    The idea that the Fed's "quantitative easing" is "stimulating the economy" is outrageous.

    They're just pumping large quantities of cash into the US stock market to keep it afloat and profitable to "investors". It's another bubble – the only kind of "economic stimulus" known by the Fed and the Powers That Be. And it does nothing to help the real economy where 95% of Americans live.
