How do they measure growth?
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) gathers data from surveys of businesses, households, and government bodies across the UK. They track everything from manufacturing output to consumer spending and construction projects. These figures are then compiled to provide a comprehensive picture of economic activity, like the 0.1% growth seen in August.
