Business as usual for UK economy –but where will it go in 2017?

Revised GDP growth figures show Britain putting in a solid performance - but inflation could lead to a slowdown

So far, so good. That sums up the performance of the UK economy in the first three months after the Brexit referendum in June.

In normal times, a quarterly growth rate of 0.6% would be wholly unexceptional for Britain and hardly worthy of comment. The economy has tended to expand by about 2.0% to 2.5% a year, so 0.6% over three months is about par for the course.
