According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the GDP saw an edge up by 2.9% on annual rate rather than the 2.6% reported earlier, while expectations earlier hovered around a little ascending revision of 0.1% to 2.7%
The 1.7% raise of the real consumer spending was the main element behind the revision.
