According to the preliminary estimate of GDP, the UK economy slowed during the final quarter of last year, with output increasing by just 0.2%. Looking at the expenditure components, both household and government expenditure made positive contributions, while net trade and investment were a drag on growth. It is notable that business investment has now fallen for four consecutive quarters, for the first time since the financial crisis of 2008/09.
