ECONOMIST VIEWS

ROB WOOD, BERENBERG BANK

"This is obviously good news that the economy grew in Q3, but the underlying picture is that UK growth remains fragile. The good news from the third quarter is unlikely to last with the one-off boost from the Olympics unwinding in the fourth quarter and business surveys downbeat, a return to contraction is likely, bringing with it talk of a triple-dip."
