As the weakest pace of any expansion since at least 1949, economic growth is now tracking at a 1% rate in 2016—the weakest start to a year since 2011—when combined with a downwardly revised reading for the first quarter.

What is the rate of economic growth? Definition: Real Economic Growth Rate is the rate at which a nation's Gross Domestic product (GDP) changes/grows from one year to another. GDP is the market value of all the goods and services produced in a country in a particular time period.
