The UK economy grew by 0.7% in the third quarter, the Office for National Statistics said, according to the Financial Times and the Guardian. The Guardian says the figure matched City analysts’ expectations. Growth held up despite high oil and gas prices, which the ONS said restricted growth after the renewed conflict in the Middle East. The ONS said GDP rose 0.2% in September and revised August growth down from 0.1% to zero. Bloomberg reports that September growth beat expectations. In November the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast 1.2% growth this year, a figure the Guardian says already looks out of date.
