According to the advance estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, US real gross domestic product ("GDP") increased at a seasonally-adjusted, annualized rate of 2.5 percent. This quarter's increase was primarily driven by positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (“PCE”), which increased by 3.2 percent, a positive sign for the domestic lodging sector. Other factors that contributed to an increase in GDP included private inventory investment, which increased approximately 1.0 percent, exports, which increased 2.9 percent, residential investment, which increased 12.6 percent, and non- residential fixed investment, which increased 2.1 percent. These increases were partly offset by declines in federal government spending and state and local government spending. At the local level, New York's gross metro product is expected to increase by 2.8 percent in 2013, according to Moody's Economy.com forecast as of January 2013. New York City's consumer price index ("CPI") increased by an average of 2.1 percent during the first quarter, above the 1.7 percent increase in national CPI.
