WASHINGTON, D.C.: US investment bank Goldman Sachs on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) revised down its forecast for US economic growth this year as American consumers are likely to spend less amid a Delta variant-fueled Covid-19 surge, according to Bloomberg News.

Goldman Sachs economist Ronnie Walker wrote in a report to clients on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) that overall US economic expansion in 2021 is now seen at 5.7 percent, lower than 6 percent estimated at the end of August, Bloomberg reported.
