The United States (US) economy grew at a slightly slower pace in the first quarter of 2021, with GDP expanding by 6.4% compared to the previous quarter. This growth was fueled by increased consumer spending and business investments, as the country continues to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this positive momentum, concerns remain about inflation and supply chain disruptions, which could potentially hinder future economic growth. The Federal Reserve has indicated that it will continue to keep interest rates low in order to support the recovery.
