BUSINESS & ECONOMY
🚀 U.S. Economy Sees Fastest Growth in Over 2 Years
The U.S. economy grew at a 4.9% annual rate in Q3 2023, its fastest pace since 2021, driven by robust consumer spending and job market strength, beating analysts' 4.5% forecast. This growth, despite Federal Reserve rate hikes to curb inflation, reflects heightened consumer activity and federal spending. Economist Kathy Bostjancic noted, “Growth may slow as consumers exhaust pandemic savings.”
🌍 Global GDP Faces Larger Climate Impact Than Expected
Global GDP could suffer a much greater climate impact, with physical risks potentially quadrupling by 2050, according to the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS). A 3°C rise could lead to GDP losses of up to 30%. Timely transition efforts could mitigate this, but a substantial economic transformation is needed. NGFS stated, “Stronger efforts are required to meet climate targets.”
