Free AccessMNI 5 THINGS: Trade To Knock Q3 GDP; Cars Hit Oct Growth
By Jai Lakhani, Laurie Laird, Jamie Satchi
LONDON (MNI) - The following are the key points from October GDP and trade
data released by the Office for National Statistics on Monday.
- A massive upward revision to the Q3 trade gap risks sending GDP sharply
lower, or even into negative territory for the first time in nearly six years.
- The Q3 deficit ballooned to Stg9.8 billion from the originally-reported
Stg2.9. In the absence of other revisions, trade could have a neutral effect on
Q3 GDP, down from the 0.8 percentage point boost reported previously. GDP
expanded by 0.6% in Q3, according to the earliest calculation.
- The economy rebounded only modestly in October, after recording no growth
in August and September, suggesting a late-summer slowdown stretched into the
fourth quarter.
- Unusually-sluggish domestic demand for cars accounted for much of the
October weakness, with factory shutdowns reducing car production by 6.6%.
Manufacturing shaved 0.09 percentage points from monthly GDP growth.
- National Statisticians saw "no evidence whatsoever" of stockpiling of
crucial goods ahead of a potential no-deal Brexit next March. Imports of food
products fell below their 12-month average in October, while inward shipments of
medicines were in line with their 12-month average, according to an official.
