THE UK economy returned to growth in November after a boost from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) factories restarting production following a cyber attack, according to official figures.
-
The Office for National Statistics said UK gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 0.3% for the month, following a 0.1% decline in October. The increase was sharper than expected, with economists having predicted a 0.2% rise for the month.
Official figures also showed the UK economy grew in September, with a 0.1% rise, after previous estimates of a 0.1% fall were revised on the back of more data, particularly from the pharmaceutical sector.
