UK Economic Growth August 2024

LONDON — The U.K. economy grew by 0.2 percent in August on a monthly basis, flash data released by the Office for National Statistics showed on Friday.

Gross domestic product (GDP) was in line with the expectations of economists polled by Reuters, who had forecast growth of 0.2%.

The country’s economy slowed in June and July after previously seeing modest but steady expansion in almost every month this year. Great Britain came out of a shallow recession at the beginning of the year.

The reading comes as Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves is due to present her Autumn Budget later this month, with raising taxes and cutting spending expected as it tries to plug a black hole in public finances worth about £22 billion ($29 billion). The conservative opposition party, which led the country until snap elections earlier this year, denies the difference.

Reeves also hinted that he might change the country’s debt rules to free up more money to spur investment.

The government said the plans were part of its vision for the era of “national renewal”, as it tries to inject some optimism into the public mood after painting a gloomy picture of the state of the economy.

How do you see the battle for the championship from the holidays?


“I remain of the opinion that Inter is the favorite for the title. The Nerazzurri are reigning Italian champions and have two positional alternatives, it is no coincidence that Inzaghi rotates his players. But I expect a much more competitive championship than the last one.”

In addition to being at the Nerazzurri, you also coached Napoli and Juventus: are they the real anti-Inter?


“Yes, Napoli and Juventus will fight to the end. On paper, in terms of values, Milan would also be there, but unlike their rivals, they have yet to find the right balance. But I’m not referring to the affair with the penalties in Florence and the substitution of shooters decided by the players. I’ve had a chance to take a penalty and then find another one on the spot, simply because we scored in the end. The truth is that if it scores, it’s all right. otherwise it’s boring.”

Why do they always back down?

which really shouldn’t

while we have a very raw piece

does he want to know in the desert?

Anyone who pulls back still has feeling

and participate in life again,

He feels warmth again where it is cool

Give permanents to the crazy ones.

There is one who loves bees,

choke to maple,

fill yourself with skewers

and cheek bags expand.

A little later you will see it vegan,

bearded and hungry.

As if in union with Saint Florian

he is really looking for ignition.

But his resignation would have been something!

If someone offered him the microphone,

while he was wet with farewell tears

shut up – old Södertröte.

Qatar to write off loans to boost private sector growth By Reuters

ABU DHABI (Reuters) – Qatar is planning initiatives to boost private sector growth in the Gulf state, including writing off some loans to Qatari companies made during the COVID-19 pandemic, state media reported late on Wednesday.

The cabinet called for the preparation and implementation of a package of initiatives to increase the participation of the private sector in the national economy, the Qatar News Agency reported, based on directives from Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

The initiatives aim to offer support to private companies struggling to recover from the pandemic and strengthen the private sector as part of government plans to diversify the economy, create jobs and attract investment.

Loans to Qatari firms under the National Response Guarantee Program are to be phased out and companies will also be able to access short-term financing to fund working capital, according to the statement.

Qatar, one of the world’s largest exporters of liquefied natural gas, has accelerated efforts to diversify economic sectors and revenue streams, but remains dependent on gas revenue for government revenue.

The latest initiatives are in line with Qatar’s Third National Development Strategy 2024-2030.
