Recession Double Dip Avoided by UK?
The ONS (Office for National Statistics) has questioned the extent of the recession double dip which was reported to a wide extent in 2012. Now it appears the construction industry shrank in the first quarter but not by as much as it was understood at the time.
This could mean that technically, the economy never actually slid into recession the second time (thus averting the recession double dip), although the ONS must still confirm this later in 2013. It now seems that it is more likely no growth occurred than a shrinkage which negates the term ‘recession’ since that would entail two back-to-back dips.
The services sector accounting for the bulk of the economy though so it remains to be seen whether the gains by the construction industry will truly affect the outcome. All will be known once the accounting are finalised.
