Inflation In Check The Economy Surges In 1984 Quarter
Washington AP The economy grew 7.6 percent annual rate last quarter while inflation cooled to 3.2 percent for the second quarter. The Commerce Department revised growth to 7.6 from 7.5 percent, driven by stronger personal consumption and business investment, offset by weaker housing and inventories. Reagan officials raise full year forecast to 7.2 percent, the strongest expansion since the late 1950s. President seeks to capitalize on the upbeat data in reelection bid.
