AI-boosted UK economy beats forecasts ahead of budget
Original: AI-boosted UK economy beats forecasts, giving Healey pre-budget lift
The UK economy grew faster than expected, with strength in artificial intelligence-related sectors credited for beating forecasts, according to Reuters. The better-than-anticipated figures arrive shortly before the budget and are being read as a timely boost for Chancellor Rachel Healey, offering the government a more positive economic backdrop than recent data had suggested.
Why now: Fresh GDP data beating forecasts just before the budget is politically significant for the UK government.
