The British economy showed strong growth in the first three months of the year, ending a “technical recession” that had been predicted by economists. According to official figures from the Office for National Statistics, the economy expanded by 0.6% in the first quarter, surpassing the 0.4% increase predicted by economists. This growth was seen across a range of sectors, indicating broad-based strength.
Despite this positive rebound, overall economic expansion has been sluggish over the past year due to high interest rates that have remained at 5.25%, the highest in 16 years. However, there is optimism that interest rates may be lowered soon to stimulate economic growth. Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey suggested that a rate cut could be implemented in June if inflation continues to decline. While high interest rates have helped curb inflation, they have also had a dampening effect on borrowing costs and negatively affected the British economy.
