(Updated with revision of 2nd quarter growth)
LONDON, Dec 22 (Reuters) – Britain’s gross domestic product fell by 0.1% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the previous quarter, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics released on Friday.
Economists polled by Reuters expected the same figure, unchanged from the initial estimate published on November 10.
The ONS also revised second quarter growth downward. He now estimates that the economy stagnated over the period, after having reported a first estimate of an increase of 0.2% in activity. (Written by William Schomberg, Corentin Chappron, edited by Jean-Stéphane Brosse)
