National
Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) reported on Friday that its
estimates revealed the UK’s economy is likely to grow by about 7 percent in the
three months to August. Economists had forecast a 6.3 percent drop. In the third
quarter, GDP is seen to show a growth of around 15 percent, NIESR
added.
NIESR also
noted that the ONS statistics published this morning revealed the UK economy
contracted by 7.6 percent in the three months to July, largely in line with
what the institute had forecast last month.
“There has been
a welcome resumption of economic growth in the third quarter as the lockdown
eased, signaling the end of a short, yet severe, recession in the first half of
the year,” noted Dr. Kemar Whyte, Senior Economist of Macroeconomic Modelling
and Forecasting at NIESR. “However, despite this recovery, we have still only
recovered just over half of the output lost due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The
evolution of the pandemic and the scale of expected withdrawals of government
support pose downside risks on the pace of the recovery as we move to the end
of this terrible year.”
