RE: UK GDP up 4.8 per cent in second quarter12 Aug 2021 12:28
"The UK economy grew at a rate of 4.8 per cent in the second quarter, data from the ONS said today, as the bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic continues.
As a result, GDP is now 4.4 per cent below where it was in the last quarter of 2019, before Covid-19 struck."
So with livestocks post above in mind I typed into google " economy grows faster than expected by 1pc" and was able to find plenty of information to back this up which is always good as it means it's true....
I then cross referenced it against wids post below searching Google with the various area's mentioned followed by "big miss" - it seemed to bring up zero information to back up the post.
GDP q/q as expected. You missed the other data which came out m/m
Productivity - big miss
Manufacturing - big miss
Construction - big miss
Business investment q/q - big miss
Trade balance - big miss
