British Economy Sputters And Struggles Through First Quarter

The British economy grew a paltry 0.1% from January through March.
Several sectors actually declined, while construction and technology services were the only areas of growth.
Major strikes significantly hampered economic activity across the country.
The economy remains smaller than before the pandemic and is projected to barely expand through June.
Growth is expected to pick up slightly in the coming years but still remain tepid, according to the Bank of England.
