According to reports, the National Bureau of Statistics of the United Kingdom said in a statement that in the second quarter of 2021, the country's economic growth rate was as high as 5.5%, but it was only 1.3% in the third quarter, and the economic growth rate has slowed sharply.
According to the report, the rapid recovery of the British economy in the second quarter was mainly due to the lifting of a series of blockades against the new crown epidemic.
However, the British Sky News Network pointed out that due to weak consumer spending and continuous decline in retail sales and other reasons, this recovery momentum was affected in the third quarter.
