third quarter. The slowdown in the last quarter mainly reflected falls in inventory investment and federal government spending on defense. The declining inventory investment suggests that businesses are still reluctant to hold stocks and expand production in an uncertain environment. On the positive side, private consumer spending remained strong throughout 2012, and fixed investment picked up in the end.
