UK GDP Growth Slows More than Expected
The British economy advanced 0.1% month-over-month in February of 2022, slowing sharply from a 0.8% growth in January and lower than market forecasts of a 0.3% rise. Services edged up 0.2% and were the main contributor to growth, mainly travel agency, tour operators and other reservation services (33.1%) and accommodation (23%) as covid restrictions eased further. Meanwhile, industrial production fell 0.6%, namely because of a 5.4% slump in the manufacturing of transport equipment amid component shortages. Also, declines were reported for electric power generation, transmission and distribution (-1%), extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas (-2.2%), and construction (-0.1%) as storms delayed some projects. Still, the GDP is now 1.5% above its pre-coronavirus pandemic level in February of 2020.
