America’s real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 1.1% in the first quarter of 2015, not 0.8% as previously estimated, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The country’s economy expanded by 1.4% in the previous quarter. The bureau attributes growth in January-March to increased personal spending, a rise in residential fixed investment and greater spending by state and local governments. Imported decreased, and exports rose faster than previously estimated.
