The US economy is experiencing its fastest growth in nearly three years, with strong activity in the services sector leading the charge. According to S&P Global's latest data, the US composite PMI hit 56.6 in December, signaling a robust economy as we close out 2024. The services sector, in particular, is booming, seeing its highest growth since 2021. While manufacturing output has shown signs of slowing, economists remain optimistic about continued growth in 2025, with projections for GDP growth exceeding 3% in Q4. As we move into 2025, all eyes will be on how the Federal Reserve's economic projections influence the market. IAICC hopes that the momentum gained in Q4 of 2024 will continue in 2025. #USEconomy #Growth #2024 #IAICC #Business #Finance #Sectors #GDP https://lnkd.in/djf_Sh9B
