Chancellor responds to quarterly GDP estimates for Q3 2024

The Chancellor's response to the ONS GDP estimate for Q3 2024 (July to September), published today, is below:

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said:

“Improving economic growth is at the heart of everything I am seeking to achieve, which is why I am not satisfied with these numbers. At my Budget, I took the difficult choices to fix the foundations and stabilise our public finances.  Now we are going to deliver growth through investment and reform to create more jobs and more money in people's pockets, get the NHS back on its feet, rebuild Britain and secure our borders in a decade of national renewal".
