___________________
There was an inadvertent early release of some of BEA’s personal consumption expenditure data for
November as well as for previous months via BEA’s API (application programming interface). Because some
data were inadvertently released ahead of the official release time, BEA immediately released the data that
were affected, consistent with our protocol at 7:50 pm EST. Those data cover current dollar personal
consumption expenditure statistics for July through November as well as current dollar breakouts for goods,
durables, nondurables, and services.
NOTE. Monthly estimates are expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, unless otherwise specified. Monthto-month dollar changes are differences between these published estimates. Month-to-month percent changes are
calculated from unrounded data and are not annualized. “Real” estimates are in chained (2009) dollars.

This news release is available on BEA’s Web site at www.bea.gov/newsreleases/rels.htm.
