Analysis: • The 0.3% decline in Real Gross Domestic Product compared to Q4 2024 was the largest drop since Q1 2022. • The decline can largely be attributed to a significant increase in imports, which are subtracted from Real GDP to avoid double counting. • The negative contribution of net exports to Real GDP growth combined with significant increases in the “change in private inventories” tell a story of firms increasing their stockpiles before tariffs are implemented.
