UK | The economy takes a small step to recovery
Although February saw GDP make only a modest advance in exiting a Covidshaped hole, the month’s 0.4% m/m rise in output should herald the start of an increasingly rapid rebound in activity.
Notably, the reopening of non-essential retail and outdoor hospitality on April 12 is set to deliver a much stronger rise in GDP this month. Meanwhile, we learnt that the MPC will soon lose Andrew Haldane, its most bullish member.
What you will learn from this report:
- February saw activity begin to make up the loss caused by lockdown.
- The effect of April 12’s partial reopening was evident in some high-frequency data.
- Online job vacancies have returned to pre-pandemic levels.
