The UK economy grew more strongly than expected in the second quarter after activity roared back in June

The UK economy grew more strongly than expected in the second quarter after activity roared back in June following an extra bank holiday for King Charles III’s coronation.

Gross domestic product rose 0.2% from the first quarter, the Office for National Statistics said Friday. The Bank of England had expected a 0.1% expansion. Output in June jumped 0.5%, more than double the 0.2% pace expected by economists.

Manufacturing and construction output were both stronger than expected in June.
