The ONS reported that the UK economy grew by 0.6% from April to June, with a notable resilience in manufacturing offsetting weaknesses in services.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves acknowledged the inherited economic challenges, emphasizing the government's commitment to prioritizing growth as a national mission.
Economic statistics director Liz McKeown pointed out that growth over two consecutive quarters indicates recovery from previous economic slumps and showcases strengths in various sectors.
Despite overall positive growth in the second quarter, June showed flat growth, with a decline in the service sector countered by manufacturing improvements.
