Brazil's economy grew 3.4 percent in 2024 from the previous year, driven by strong household spending, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) reported Friday.
According to the IBGE report, strong household spending, which rose 4.8 percent year on year, helped drive last year's GDP growth. Industry and services, expanding 3.3 percent and 3.7 percent respectively, also contributed to the growth. (Xinhua/Wang Tiancong)
