The UK's economy has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, growing by a surprising 0.5% in the period leading up to February, according to official figures released on Thursday.
This performance beats the predictions of economists polled by Reuters, who foresaw a modest growth of 0.2% for the quarter.
Particularly notable was the month of February, where growth hit 0.5%, significantly higher than the expected 0.1% increase, as reported by the Office for National Statistics.
