Meanwhile at Barclays

While the EU goes into a double dip recession, Britain is set for the strongest economic expansion since the 1940s.

There goes my believe in bankers being able to calculate. After a dip of 9.9%, a growth of 6.5% would bring economy up to (90.1+ 6.5× 0.901) 96% of what it previously was. Still a 4% dip in economy as compared to when you were EU members.

And like you stated in your post # 50 of another thread: they usually get it wrong!

What isn't wrong Solly is that the EU is officially in a double-dip recession now whereas the UK grew in Q4 2020.


Eurozone suffers double-dip recession as pandemic impact continues

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56940720

UK gross domestic product (GDP) in Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2020 is estimated to have grown by 1.0%, following revised 16.1% growth in Quarter 3

Yes, that is quite rightly predicted by bread elsewhere. Perhaps he can help you find an explanation for it, as you seem to have no clue.

I think we all know why the EU has a double-dip recession but the UK doesn't.
It's a simple answer.
The EU are useless.

I'm sure Barclays know what they're talking about, but let's wait till it happens before we start getting giddy.

Don't be silly Harbal; it gives some people the opportunity for more whether it's true or not.

Besides (and as said): the EU is officially in a double-dip recession.
We are not.
But indeed, let's wait and see.

Not much point in me being here if I'm not going to be silly. I could tell you and Bread not to be silly, But I don't think you realise that you are being.
