However, the scale of the decline was much smaller than most analysts expected &#8211; a Reuters poll had pointed to a 5.7% contraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Britain&#8217;s economy is now 8.5% smaller than it was before the start of the coronavirus pandemic in February. &#8220;Many businesses adjusted to the new working conditions during the pandemic &#8230; while schools also stayed open, meaning the impact on the economy was significantly smaller in November than during the first lockdown,&#8221; ONS statistician Darren Morgan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To find out more about how we can assist you with your Second Charge Mortgage please <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/secondchargemortgageuk.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bank of England had estimated Britain&#8217;s economy would shrink by just over 1% over the final three months of 2020. With a new lockdown in place since January the country is still at risk of falling into a double-dip recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BoE ramped up its bond-buying programme to almost 900 billion pounds ($1.23 trillion) in November and Governor Andrew Bailey said this week that it was too soon to say if further stimulus would be needed. Friday&#8217;s data showed Britain&#8217;s economy in November was 8.9% smaller than a year earlier, a smaller drop than the 12.1% fall forecast in a Reuters poll. In October the economy had been 6.8% smaller than a year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its lowest point in April, when many businesses closed temporarily, output was a record 25% below its year-ago level. November&#8217;s downturn was led by the services sector, where output fell 3.4% from October as pubs, restaurants, non-essential shops and many other consumer services businesses had to shut as part of a four-week lockdown in England and similar measures in other parts of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/international\/business\/uk-economy-shrank-in-november-as-new-lockdown-hit\/articleshow\/80282746.cms\" target=\"_blank\">The Economic Times<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Discover our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/secondchargemortgageuk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mortgage Broker<\/a> services.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK economy shrank by 2.6% in November, the first monthly fall in output since the country was under its initial COVID lockdown last April as new restrictions were imposed to slow the spread of the disease.
