GDP

London's leading share index rose this morning, recovering from yesterday's fall following news the UK economy contracted by 0.5% in the fourth quarter of last year.

Bank of England chief Mervyn King said the shock contraction in GDP figures proves the UK recovery will be "choppy" but he appeared to rule out immediate interest rate rises.

The British economy grew by 0.7% in Q3, lower than the previously estimated figure of 0.8%.
