What is 'production' exactly?
'Production' refers to the output of goods from sectors like manufacturing, mining, and energy supply. In August, a rise in these areas, including factories and power generation, helped lift the UK's overall economic output by 0.1%. This growth offset the stagnation in services and the contraction in construction, preventing a negative overall figure.
