The British economy managed to eke out quarterly growth of 0.1% in the final quarter of 2024 following a stronger than anticipated performance in December.
The Office for National Statistics said Thursday that the 0.4% expansion in December was a result of a broad-based expansion, with pubs doing particularly well in the run-up to Christmas, helping the quarter to turn positive.
The fourth quarter figures means the economy grew by 0.9% overall in 2024.
