LONDON, Jan 15 (Reuters) – Britain’s economy grew by a better-than-expected 0.3% in November, official data showed on Thursday.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast that British gross domestic product would expand by 0.1% on a month-on-month basis.
Finance minister Rachel Reeves announced her annual budget statement on November 26, ending months of speculation about possible tax increases that weighed on the economy.
The Bank of England expects Britain’s economy to have shown zero growth in the October-to-December period of 2025 although it thinks underlying growth is running at about 0.2% a quarter.
