What happened
Conflict in the Middle East is constricting global oil and gas supply, leading to increased raw material costs. This has put additional pressure on Great Britain's economy, which relies heavily on imported energy. Despite these external pressures, the UK economy grew 0.4 percent in the three months to July.
Why it matters
The Middle East conflict is cited as a factor driving up costs and inflation in Great Britain. Rising oil and gas prices are weighing on the UK economy. The Bank of England is monitoring this inflation backdrop while reassessing its monetary policy outlook.
