Quarter 3 saw some more positive news on the UK economy in terms of GDP growth, inflation and interest rates. Data revisions by the Office for National Statistics mean that the UK economy is now estimated to have grown by 1.8% between the start of the Covid pandemic to Q2 2023, whereas previously it was believed to have contracted by 0.2%.
