8 months agoUK Treasury chief says she's not satisfied by paltry third-quarter economic growth
Rachel Reeves expressed her dissatisfaction with the official figures showing a significant slowdown in the British economy's recovery, noting that growth in the third quarter was just 0.1%. She cautioned that stagnating sectors and a 0.5% growth in the previous quarter indicate systemic issues. This outcome could embolden critics of the new Labour government, who might argue that the government’s messaging has contributed to public hesitance regarding economic participation.
