UK GDP Annual Growth at Record High
Britain's gross domestic product grew by 22.2 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2021, ending a five-quarter period of contraction and remaining broadly in line with market expectations of 22.1 percent, a preliminary estimate showed. That was the fastest pace of expansion on record, reflecting a low base year caused by the coronavirus crisis and the re-opening of the economy following the easing of restrictive measures. Household consumption jumped 20.5 percent (vs -11.0 percent in Q1) and fixed investment climbed 21.4 percent (vs -3.2 percent in Q1). In addition, government spending was up 32.9 (vs 3.7 percent in Q1), while net trade contributed negatively to the GDP as imports jumped 17.2 percent and exports rose 2.2 percent. Still, the level of GDP was 4.4 percent below pre-pandemic levels.
