Atlanta Fed GDPNow Shows Slight Economic Improvement in Q1 2025

Atlanta Fed GDPNow Shows Slight Economic Improvement in Q1 2025

In a modest yet significant shift, the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow indicator has shown a slight improvement for the first quarter of 2025. On April 16, the updated data revealed that the GDPNow estimate has reached -2.2%, up from a previous indicator of -2.8% recorded earlier in the same quarter.

This change represents a subtle positive momentum in the United States economy amid challenging financial conditions. The revision in the GDPNow forecast, which functions as a real-time economic growth indicator calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, suggests that while the economic outlook remains challenging, there are signs of potential stabilization.

Importantly, the update highlights a potential easing of negative pressures on the economy, as economists and policymakers continue to grapple with broader economic factors both domestically and globally. As such, the improved GDPNow reading could influence discussions on monetary policy and economic strategy going forward.
