00:00 As expected, the total local product in Britain rose by 20% in August, according to the National Statistics Office.
00:10 The office noted that the service sector grew by 14%, but the manufacturing sector saw a 17% decline, while the construction sector saw another 0.5% decline.
00:25 The total local product in July was also revised, showing a 16% decline, which is worse than the 15% for the first time.
00:37 Despite the rise in energy and food prices due to the war in Ukraine and the unprecedented cash inflow to fight inflation by the Bank of England, economic activity has slowed, but it has not stopped.
00:52 Earlier this year, the International Monetary Fund was announced by the UK's half-yearly economic update, where it raised its expectations for the total local product growth this year by a slight 15% from 14% in July.
01:09 Meanwhile, the Monetary Fund's expectations for growth in the coming year dropped from 1% to 16% amid pressure from rising interest rates.
