The recovery of the U.S. economy in 1984 was especially rapid, with real economic growth reaching 6.8 percent, but the average growth rate of the nine major European countries was just 2.5 percent. This made exports to the U.S. from other countries around the world particularly vigorous, with the rate of increase in exports reaching 26.4 percent.
