Highlights
http://www.bea.gov/bea/newsrelarchive/2006/gdp106f_fax.pdf
Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property
located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 5.6 percent in the first quarter of 2006,
according to final estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real
GDP increased 1.7 percent.
The GDP estimates released today are based on more complete source data than were available for
the preliminary estimates issued last month. In the preliminary estimates, the increase in real GDP was
5.3 percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).
The increase in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from
personal consumption expenditures (PCE), exports, equipment and software, and federal government
spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.
The acceleration in real GDP growth in the first quarter primarily reflected an upturn in PCE for
durable goods, an acceleration in exports, an upturn in federal government spending, and an acceleration
in equipment and software that were partly offset by a downturn in private inventory investment.
AND MUCH MORE...including TABLES....
