The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United Kingdom grew 1.3% in the third quarter compared to the previous one, informed this Thursday (11) the National Bureau of Statistics (ONS), in the first reading of the data.
Analysts heard by Wall Street Journal they predicted a slightly greater advance, of 1.5%. In the annual comparison, the country’s GDP increased by 6.8% in the third quarter, as expected.
The ONS says the result comes “amidst the continued weakening of restrictions by the coronavirus (covid-19)”. The hospitality, arts and recreation and health sectors pulled the result, precisely due to the economic reopening, points out the agency. The ONS also says, however, that the data brings more uncertainty than usual, given the difficulties in preparing it in the current context.
