UK economy growing at fastest rate in the developed world - Telegraph
LoL? Is David Cameron a second Thatcher? Taking all the **** up front ,making the unpopular decisions just so that later on the economy will boom?
Glad to see Britain is doing well. Will it be able to keep it up? And how will this impact its internal relationship with the scottish referendum coming right up?
it seems to me that this bit of good news may be just the ammo cameron needs to start tackling the separatist issue and also, just maybe, keep his seat and the tory majority through the next election. Though he will have to keep the good news coming for over a year because the next elections are in mid 2015.
Britain’s economy is now growing at one of the fastest rates in the developed world.
Figures released today indicated that output across the services sector, which accounts for the majority of the economy, rose at the strongest pace for 16 years between July and September.
Separately, house prices were shown to be rising at 6.2 per cent, more than twice the rate of inflation, helped by the imminent launch of the Government’s Help to Buy cheap credit scheme and also the healing economy.
Experts said the startling pick-up in the services sector, which accounts for three-quarters of national output and includes caterers, banks, accountants and lawyers, suggested that GDP growth would be 1.2 per cent for the third quarter of 2013.
This would be enough to outstrip America, France and Germany and could be ahead of Brazil and India, until recently two of the fastest growing emerging economies. Britain’s economy last rose by as much as 1.2 per cent in a three month period in the autumn of 2007, when the credit crisis began.
