U.S. Economy Grows at 2.1% Annual Pace in Fourth Quarter
The U.S. economy
Washington - QNA
The U.S. economy expanded an annual pace of 2.1 per cent in the October-December period, the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis said Thursday.
The second revision raises the fourth quarter estimate of gross domestic product from initial projections of 1.9-per-cent annualized growth.
Even with the upward revision, which was based on household spending that was higher than first estimated, growth slowed sharply in the fourth quarter when compared to the July-September period, when the annual pace hit 3.5 per cent, the strongest quarter in two years.
Even with the fourth quarter revision, the full-year pace of growth in 2016 remained 1.6 per cent, down from 2.6 per cent in 2015 and the slowest rate since 2011.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
