Economic growth slowed to just 0.1% in third quarter, figures show
The UK's economic growth has shown a worrying slowdown, with a reported increase of only 0.1% in the third quarter of the year. This disappointing figure is compounded by external factors, such as the impact of a cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover, which has further strained economic performance. Similar trends are observed globally, as seen in Thailand, where economic growth is also expected to decline sharply due to weak consumption. These patterns reflect broader challenges facing economies worldwide, emphasizing the need for strategic responses to stimulate growth.
