On the expenditure side, final consumption expenditure by households grew 0.7 percent over the quarter, while government consumption showed a flat change.

On a yearly basis, GDP growth accelerated to 1.4 percent in the third quarter from 0.5 percent in the previous quarter. The flash growth rate was 1.3 percent.
