UK Economy Grew Faster Than Expected in November

The UK economy grew faster than expected in November, increasing by 0.3% on a monthly basis, after a contraction of 0.1% in October. This growth was largely due to Jaguar Land Rover returning to normal production following a cyberattack, with a 25% increase in car production. Additionally, output in the dominant services sector rose more than expected, by 0.3%. Despite previous signs of recession, the economy showed positive signals. The Bank of England expects zero growth for the October-December period, but estimates underlying growth at around 0.2% per quarter.
