What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The UK economy grew at 0.7% in the three months leading up to September, which is the fastest rate recorded in over two years. This figure surpassed previous predictions, with the Office for Budget Responsibility having penciled in 0.3% just three weeks prior. The growth was primarily driven by spending on AI and technology.

The growth provides positive fiscal information for policy planning, despite the backdrop of rising market borrowing costs and global energy flow disruptions.

Differing views exist regarding UK economic trends, with the Bank of England, the Office for Budget Responsibility, and NIESR discussing inflation's effect on target rates. Andy Burnham has also noted that Britain relies heavily on bond markets.
