from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

The United Kingdom isn't facing as many financial troubles as predicted, after the latest data shows their GDP holding steady.  The past few months in the UK have been dominated by challenges to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's leadership, and many believed the issues in Parliament would damage the country's financial stability.  Business Correspondent Vicky Price told Ryan Bridge that, 'what we did see here was in the UK was an increase of 0.6% in the quarter in GDP, which is quite unexpected.' But she said this won't be A relief for Starmer, who faces more leadership challenges from members of his cabinet.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
