NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The U.S. economy slowed in the third quarter to a 2.7 percent annual growth rate, the slowest pace since the spring of 1999, the government reported Friday.

Investment by American businesses and a cut in federal outlays helped blunt increased spending by consumers, the Commerce Department said. Analysts surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast a 3.5 percent growth rate in the quarter, down from 5.6 percent in the second quarter.

The GDP chain deflator, a measure of inflationary pressures, rose 2.0 percent in the quarter, the department said. That was also below forecasts for a 2.3 percent rise and the second quarter's 2.4 percent increase.

die Verwendungsseite ansiehst, dann kam der Dämpfer von einem Rückgang beim Staatsverbrauch, insbesondere bei den Verteidungsausgaben. Konsum, Investitionen und auch der Export haben weiter kräftig zugenommen.

Nicht schlecht sieht es auch bei den Preisen aus.
