GDP was 0.1% higher in November than it was in October, but that is unlikely to mark the start of a recovery that will be strong enough to ease concerns about the government’s ability to tame its rising debts.

The UK economy just about returned to growth in November after two months of contraction, the latest official figures show. Gross domestic product (GDP), the standard measure of an economy's value and everything it produces, grew by 0.1%, according to data from the Office for National Statistics. It was expected to grow by 0.2%.

The median inflation forecast based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for 2024-25 is 4.8%, in line with the Reserve Bank of India’s projection for the year.

Britain's economic output rose for the first time in three months in November but by less than expected, edging up by 0.1% from October, data from the Office for National Statistics showed on Thursday.

The UK economy grew for the first time in three months, driven in part by a boost in trade for pubs, restaurants and the construction industry. Official figures showed an expansion of 0.1% after the economy shrank in each of the two previous months.
