The UK economy grew by 0.1% between July and September , according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Economists polled by Reuters and the Bank of England had forecast an expansion of 0.2% , slowing from the rapid growth seen over the first half of 2024 when the economy was rebounding from last year's shallow recession.

The sluggish services sector - which makes up the bulk of the British economy - was a particular drag on growth.
