A Slightly Breezy Quarter: UK Economy Shows Resilience Amid Ongoing Challenges The latest GDP numbers from the Office for National Statistics reveal a 0. 4% growth in the economy between April and June.
This modest expansion is being touted as a welcome boost by some policymakers, but it's clear that this figure is hardly cause for celebration. Economists had been bracing themselves for a worse outcome, but even a 0.
4% growth rate is below the 0. 6% seen in the first quarter of this year. The UK economy remains fragile and vulnerable to external pressures.
