(Sharecast News) – The UK economy grew more than initially estimated in the first quarter, according to figures released on Friday by the Office for National Statistics.
GDP rose by 0.3% between January and March, up from the 0.1% growth previously estimated.
ONS chief economist Grant Fitzner said: “Our new estimates indicate a stronger performance for professional and scientific businesses due to improved data sources.
“Meanwhile, healthcare grew less because of new near real-time information showing the cost of delivering services.”
