UK economy shrinks by more than first thought in Q3 – ONS

/ 03:34 PM December 22, 2022

LONDON -Britain’s economy contracted by a little more than first estimated in the third quarter of this year, and business investment performed poorly, official data showed on Thursday.

Economic output fell by 0.3 percent in quarterly terms during the July-September quarter, compared with a previous estimate of 0.2 percent, the Office for National Statistics said.

Business investment fell by 2.5 percent in quarterly terms, compared with a previous first estimate of a 0.5 percent drop.

While the dominant services sector expanded 0.1 percent in the quarter, declines in manufacturing and construction dragged the headline gross domestic product figure down.

The ONS said the figures put Britain bottom in the Group of Seven nations in terms of quarterly economic growth.
