"Firms’ assessment of their trading prospects for the year ahead rose by 5 points to 13%, but remained at its second lowest this year."
That doesn't make sense, it can't "remain" at its second lowest, it has risen from 5 points lower to reach its current level, either a (new) second lowest level or a third lowest at 5 points avove the second lowest.
It must have risen from its lowest to 5 points higher making the second lowest this year, not "remaining" second lowest.
I hate to be pedantic and all that, oh no, wait, I don't...... I rather enjoy it.
