The Trump administration is contemplating a significant change to how Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is reported by potentially excluding government spending from the calculations. This proposal has been met with mixed reactions, as experts note it could obscure the impact of cuts like those to the DOGE program. US Commerce Secretary Lutnick has been a vocal advocate for this change, suggesting that separating government expenditure from GDP reports could provide a clearer economic picture. Critics warn, however, that such a shift might have unintended consequences, particularly concerning market perceptions.
