Post# of 63700
The world's largest economy grew at an annual pace of 2.2% between October and December, against a previous estimate of 2.6%, the Commerce Department said.
The downward revision was due to a slower rise in business inventory investment than previously estimated.
The US economy grew at an annual pace of 5% in the previous quarter.
The slowdown in growth from the third quarter was caused by a rise in imports and a downturn in government spending.
The second estimate of US growth is based on a more complete source of economic data.
