Economic Buzz: UK Economy Contracts by 0.2% in Q4 2023, First Contraction Since 2020-21 Recession
28-Mar-24   13:15 Hrs IST
The British economy shrank by 0.2% year-on-year in Q4 2023, its first contraction since the 2020-21 recession, driven by high inflation, rising borrowing costs, and weak external demand. Net trade exerted downward pressure on GDP, with exports falling by 7.6% and imports by 1.5%. However, household consumption increased by 0.3%, fixed investment grew by 0.5%, and government consumption accelerated to 2.5%. For the full year 2023, the UK economy expanded by only 0.1%, the weakest growth since the 2009 financial crisis, excluding the pandemic year of 2020.
