Forecast Overview

摘要

The final estimate for Q3 2017 left quarterly GDP growth unrevised at 0.4%, a touch up on the (also unrevised) 0.3% in both Q1 and Q2. But with the ONS having revised up the pace of growth in H2 2016, arithmetically this has been enough to boost our forecast for calendar year 2017 GDP growth to 1.8%, from 1.5% three months ago.
