Deloitte comments on today's ONS GDP figures
Commenting on today’s ONS GDP figures, Debapratim De, director of economic research at Deloitte, said:
“The contraction in GDP in January was unexpected. But the weakness in momentum it reflects is no surprise. We continue to expect sluggish growth through spring, with fiscal easing driving a pickup in activity over the summer months.”
