The amount did not alter from the initial estimation.

“Consumer spending by households grew… In the third quarter, gross fixed capital creation (GFC) slowed. In general, final domestic demand—as opposed to inventories—contributed favorably to GDP expansion. This quarter’s GDP growth was positively impacted by foreign commerce,” the report reads.

As a result, although imports were steady, the country’s exports climbed by 0.9%.
