Updated Tuesday, February 8, 2022
EVENT ENDED
The pace of expansion of the UK economy was slowing for several months during Q1 2018. Although in Q2, the economic growth returned to normal, increasing to 0.4% as September's report showed. In Q3, the final reading in October showed that the GDP grew by 0.6% in Q3, which is impressive considering Brexit. But in Q4 the global economy weakened further as did the UK economy and the final GDP reading for that quarter came at 0.2%. The Q1 of this year was expected to be better with the economy expected to have expanded by 0.5%. The UK economy expanded by 0.5% indeed in Q1 in the prelim reading and the final reading remained unchanged.  But in Q2, we saw a 0.2% contraction. The economy expanded by 0.3% in Q3, as we saw in the last reading, but fell flat in Q4. But the worse was still to come for Q1 of this year and the economy contracted by 2% in Q1 due to coronavirus shut-down. The Q2 was horrible, with a 19.8% decline but in Q3 we saw a 16% expansion. Although restrictions returned again in Q4, but the economy grew by 1.3%, although Q1 of 2021 it came at -1.6%. In Q2 we saw improvement, so the GDP is likely to turn positive again.
