Commenting on today’s ONS GDP figures, Debapratim De, director of economic research at Deloitte, said:
“GDP growth has come in above expectations in the fourth quarter but by a small margin. Underlying momentum remains weak.
“Today’s data does not change our outlook for 2025. We continue to expect sluggish growth through spring, with the fiscal easing from last year’s Autumn Budget driving a pickup in activity over summer.”
