Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported35m ago
Official data released on Thursday indicates that Britain's economic growth slowed in the second quarter of the year. Gross domestic product increased by 0.4 percent during the April-June period, following a 0.6 percent expansion in the first three months of the year. Despite the deceleration, the national statistics office described overall output as "robust."
The economic slowdown occurs amidst domestic political unrest and broader geopolitical fallout. Millions of Britons are facing heightened financial pressure as the ongoing US-Iran war drives up energy costs, compounding existing challenges from high inflation.
