My comments on this morning’s labour market statistics (1/3) - more details in our bulletin www.ons.gov.uk/employmentan...

After slowing steadily for over a year, growth in pay excluding bonuses increased slightly in the latest period, driven by stronger growth in private sector pay. Pay growth including bonuses increased by more, but this reflects previous figures being affected by the one-off payments made to some public sector employees in 2023.

My comment on this morning’s Q3 GDP figures - full details in the quarterly bulletin: www.ons.gov.uk/economy/gros... (1/2)

The economy grew a little in the latest quarter overall as the recent slowdown in growth continued. Retail and new construction work both performed well, partially offset by falls in telecommunications and wholesale. Generally, growth was subdued across most industries in the latest quarter.
