Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news
Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt has hailed the news that the UK has grown faster than Germany and France since 2020.
He’s also repeated a recent theme that the ‘doubters’ are being proved wrong by the latest upward revision to UK economic data, saying:
“We know that the British economy recovered faster from the pandemic than anyone previously thought and data out today once again proves the doubters wrong.
We were among the fastest countries in the G7 to recover from the pandemic and since 2020 we have grown faster than France and Germany.
