Business Situation: Final Estimates for the Third Quarter of 2002

Real GDP increased 4.0 percent in the third quarter, according to the "final" estimate, up from a 1.3-percent increase in the second quarter. The "preliminary" estimate issued a month ago had also shown a 4.0- percent increase. Corporate profits decreased $14.0 billion (1.8 percent at a quaterly rate) in the third quarter, about the same decrease as in the two preceding quarters.

The ownership-based framework supplements BEA's international transactions accounts by highlighting the participation of multinational companies in international markets for goods and services both through cross-border trade and through sales by locally established affiliates.

U.S. International Transactions, Third Quarter 2002

The U.S. current-account deficit was little changed, at $127.0 billion, in the third quarter, as a decrease in the deficit on income more than offset an increase in the deficit on goods, a decrease in the surplus on services, and an increase in net outflows for unilateral current transfers. Net financial inflows stepped up sharply to $172.4 billion, reflecting a shift in financial flows for U.S.-owned assets abroad to net inflows from net outflows.
