UK Economy Recovers Faster Than Expected
The British economy has been given a boost with the news that the there has been twice as fast growth in the third quarter as expected.
Economists had been widely predicting growth of 0.4 percent as the opposed to the actual rate of 0.8 percent that has been recorded.
Leading economist James Knightley said: “This is the second major GDP growth surprise in a row and suggests that the UK economy is more resilient than many had feared.”
Much of the rate of growth is attributed to the recovery of the construction sector, which grew strongly at 8 percent, which contributed to nearly a third of the total GDP growth.
Economist James Nixon said: “It’s basically all down to construction again. The underlying rate is obviously significantly less than these headline numbers would suggest.”
There is data though to suggest that the recovery may be becoming more broad based with manufacturing and service industries performing better than predicted.
