But price pressures were also rising: consumer-related inflation gauges hovered around 3.5%, underscoring the persistent cost-of-living squeeze.<\/p>\n<p>The contraction came largely from two fronts: a pullback in government outlays and a spike in imports, which drag on the GDP calculation. Although business investment and exports provided some lift, they weren\u2019t enough to offset the drag.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/solaxy-hits-32-million-milestone-time-to-ride-the-solana-l2-wave\/\" title=\"Solaxy Hits $32 Million Milestone \u2014 Time to Ride the Solana L2 Wave?\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/solaxy-banner-3-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Solaxy Hits $32 Million Milestone \u2014 Time to Ride the Solana L2 Wave?<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Worries over tariffs appear to have driven an early surge in imports, distorting the quarter\u2019s figures.
