Washington, August 31 : The US economy grew more slowly in the second quarter than previously estimated -- a good sign for the Federal Reserve, which is attempting to cool demand to bring down price increases, a media report said.
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic output, rose at an annualised rate of 2.1 per cent in the second quarter, according to the Commerce Department’s second estimate released on Wednesday, CNN reported.
That’s a slightly slower pace than the 2.4 per cent the department initially estimated.
