UK GDP Outlook for Q2 Expected to Double Q1’s Rate


August, 10 2018
watermark Economic news

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of the United Kingdom for the April- June quarter is predicted to double the Q1’s rate with an increase of 0.4 percent. The report is scheduled to be released on Friday, August 10 at 8:30 GMT by the Office for National Statistics.


Compared last year, the UK GDP for the second quarter is projected to grow by 1.3 which is higher than the 1.2 percent growth rate in the first quarter of 2018. The recovery of Britain’s GDP rate to an increasing momentum from the near-zero level combined with the recent reports of the EU in settling the Brexit deal for the UK Prime Minister Theresa May are both intended to cool down the selling pressure of the GBP after its decline to 1.2841 yesterday.


Moreover, the overall development is expected and the British economy sustained its position well below the average growth rate outlook for major advanced countries, considering that Brexit risks affect the expenditure and business investment decisions.


The initial forecast of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) for the UK GDP was issued and showed that the research institute’s GDP Tracker indicates an expansion of 0.4 percent in Q2 of this year and 0.5 percent in Q3. The policymakers of the Bank of England also shows optimism towards the UK, stating that growth would likely remain discreet based on its historical standards but relatively higher than the beginning of this year.
