UK GDP Growth Below Forecasts in Q1
The British economy expanded 0.8% on quarter in Q1 2022, slowing from a 1.3% expansion in Q4 and below market forecasts of 1%, preliminary estimates showed. The services sector increased 0.4%, with the largest contributions coming from information and communication, accommodation and food, and transportation and storage industries, while there was a decline in wholesale and retail. Production went up 1.2%, mainly due to manufacturing (1.3%). Also, household consumption went up 0.6%, partially offset by large movements in international trade flows. The GDP is now 0.7% above its pre-coronavirus level. However, a slowdown is expected in the coming months due to the impact of the war in Ukraine and as rising inflation hurts consumers' purchasing power. Yet, the economy already contracted 0.1% in March alone and the Bank of England sees it broadly unchanged in Q2 and to contract around 1% in Q4.

UK GDP Growth Rate Revised Higher in Q4
The British economy expanded 1.3% on quarter in the last three months of 2021, stronger than initial estimates of a 1% increase, and following a downwardly revised 0.9% gain in the previous three months. Service industries expanded more quickly than initially estimated (1.5% vs 1.2%), and exports also increased more (6.9% vs 4.9%). The largest contributors to growth were human health and social work activities, driven by increased GP visits at the start of the quarter, and a large increase in coronavirus testing and tracing activities, and the extension of the vaccination programme. The GDP is now 0.1% below where it was pre-coronavirus at Quarter 4 2019. Considering full 2021, the British economy advanced 7.4%, slightly less than initial estimates of 7.5%, and rebounding from a 9.3% contraction in 2020.
