UK Q1 final GDP +0.5% vs +0.5% q/q prelim

Latest data released by ONS - 28 June 2019

• GDP +1.8% vs +1.8% y/y prelim

• Total business investment +0.4% vs +0.5% q/q prelim
• Total business investment -1.5% vs -1.4% y/y prelim

The preliminary report can be found here. Very much in-line with initial estimates with only a bit of a slight downtick in business investment growth for the first quarter. In case you need a reminder, the boost in Q1 GDP for the UK mainly came about from Brexit stockpiling and growth in Q2 is expected to moderate towards stagnation - based on data so far.
